ROCHESTER, N.Y. — For the first time as a senior, Elmira College forward Connor Powell ’20 was named the United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) Player of the Week, as announced by the league office.
The Merrimack, New Hampshire, product led the Soaring Eagles to a pair of conference wins over the weekend, as EC made easy work of King’s (Pa.) in a 9-0 victory before edging Wilkes by a 3-2 final score. In those two contests, Powell produced a combined six points on two goals and four assists, three of which were earned on the power play.
In the lopsided win over the Monarchs on Friday, Powell potted two goals and added two assists for a single-game season-high four points. The following night he dished out two helpers, including the primary assist on the game-winning power-play goal from Anthony Parrucci ’20 early in the third period.
Through 17 games, the former All-America selection sits one point shy of the team lead with 24 (9g-15a). Within the UCHC, Powell is tied for fourth in power-play points (14), sixth in points, and eighth in assists.
