POTSDAM, N.Y.—SUNY Potsdam senior Kaylee Merrill (Wasilla, Alaska/Anchorage North Stars) has been named the Northeast Women’s Hockey League’s Player of the Week. It’s the second time she’s earned the honor during her career.
Merrill stayed red hot last weekend, amassing seven points in a two-game sweep of King’s College. In Potsdam’s 9-0 win on Friday night, Potsdam’s captain had two goals and two assists. Merrill added two more goals, including the game-winner, and an assist in the Bears’ 3-0 win over the Monarchs on Saturday afternoon.
In seven games, Merrill now has 10 goals and three assists for 13 points. She ranks second in the nation in goals-per-game with 1.43 and sixth in the nation with 1.86 points-per-game. Merrill’s frantic pace also has her rapidly climbing the Bears’ NCAA-era record book. The forward now has 50 points on 39 goals and 11 assists. She currently ranks 10th on the program’s scoring list and third on its goals list.
