LOWELL, Mass. – After scoring two goals in Friday night's 5-3 win against No.10/11 UConn, graduate student
Jay Ahearn (Staten Island, N.Y.) of the UMass Lowell ice hockey team has been named the River Hawk of the Week.
Ahearn shined in the ranked victory, potting his eighth goal of the season on a power play in the second period to take a 2-1 lead, before sealing the deal with an empty-netter late in the third period for his ninth on the year. He's now second on the team in goals and tied for second with 13 points (9g, 4a).
The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.
