Women’s hockey player Rachel Lenard (Orchard Park/Nardin) was named the Buffalo State Athlete of the Week after scoring three goals in two games on the weekend.
The junior education major netted three goals in a pair of games as Buffalo State earned a split against her former team, nationally-ranked No. 8 Oswego. Lenard tallied both goals in Friday’s 2-1 victory, including scoring the game-winner with less than five minutes remaining. She then scored the Bengals’ only goal in Saturday’s 5-1 loss.
Lenard played a season-and-a-half for Oswego after transferring to Buffalo State last January. She is second on the Bengals this season with 11 goals and 22 points.
Buffalo State will host No. 1 Plattsburgh for a pair of games to close out the regular season this Friday and Saturday.
