UConn Sweeps Conference Weekly Honors
Providence, RI (Oct. 7, 2002)- The University of Connecticut field
hockey team swept the BIG EAST Weekly awards for the week of Oct. 7,
when sophomores Lauren Henderson (Avondale Harare, Zimbabwe) and
Lauren Christie (Raby, Australia) were named Offensive and Defensive
Player of the Week, respectively, as announced on Monday by the BIG
EAST Conference. Henderson had two outstanding games leading UConn
to a 2-0 week, including its sixth straight victory. The forward tied a school
record with five goals in UConn's 6-0 win over Quinnipiac on Friday night, and
had a goal and an assist in a 5-0 win over Yale during the week. This was
Henderson's second straight Offensive Player of the Week honor and she leads the
league with 15 goals and 33 total points (15 goals, 3 assists). Christie
earned her first weekly honor after helping the Huskies to two straight shutouts
from her back position. She held UConn opponents to only four shots on the week
while adding a goal and four assists in two games. The Huskies return to
action on Wednesday, Oct. 9, when they travel to Chestnut Hill, Mass., to face
BIG EAST foe Boston College at 7:00 p.m. |
