(Editor's Note: The award was announced after the publication of last week's “Headliners,” but we didn't want it to go unnoticed.)
The USCHO, which usually honors one student-athlete with its “Offensive Player of the Week” award, shared last week's honor with Liz and Molly Flanagan after the twin sisters played a key role in sweeping New England College on the road the weekend of January 18 & 19.
Liz had five assists in the two games, three in a 4-1 win on Saturday and two in a 5-4 overtime Sunday win. She now leads the team in scoring with 10 goals and 17 assists.
Molly scored both game-winners against the Pilgrims. She scored at 13:50 of the first period – with an assist from her sister – to give Union the 2-1 lead in the 4-1 win. The next day she scored at 1:52 of overtime.
