Player of the Week
Severson (Gr. – Rockford, Ill.) earns Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career after a two goal outing against Harvard on Saturday. Her second goal was key, as it tied the game and forced overtime, giving the Engineers a league point against the nationally-ranked Crimson. She was also a key component of the PK unit that went 8-for-9 on the weekend.
MAC Goaltending Goalie of the Week
Pasiechnyk (So. – Ottawa, Ont.) continued her strong 2021-22 campaign with a weekend in which she stopped 40 of 41 shots that came her way. She sent aside 29 of 30 in a 1-1 tie against St. Lawrence on Thursday evening, before registering her third shutout of the season in a 1-0 win over the Saints on Saturday. The sophomore now ranks in the Top-5 of ECAC Hockey net minders in GAA (2nd), save percentage (4th), saves (3rd), and win percentage (5th).
Rookie of the Week
McCutcheon (Fr. – St.-Jean-sur-Richelieu, PQ) earns Rookie of the Week honors for the second time this season after registering a pair of points in RPI’s win over Dartmouth on Friday. She dished out an assist and also scored the game-winner in a game the Engineers would win 3-1. Pasiechnyk has had a strong first half of her rookie season, ranking second on the team with 10 points.
