Boston College women’s hockey defender Olivia Maffeo won Hockey East Defender of the Week. 

Maffeo earned the honor after her performance in the Eagles’ 4-3 overtime win at No. 14 Holy Cross on Friday night. 

In the contest, the Canton, Mass., native scored two goals for two points which included the game-winning goal in overtime at 3:38.  She did not score or record an assist in BC’s 6-2 road loss to No. 4 UConn on Saturday night. 

The sophomore joins Northeastern’s Lily Shannon (Player of the Week), Vermont’s Lily Prendergast (Rookie of the Week), New Hampshire’s Noemi Martinez (Co-Goaltender of the Week), and Northeastern’s Lisa Jönsson (Co-Goaltender of the Week) in receiving weekly honors from the conference this week.

Boston College Quote of the Day:

“Hockey players can give each other a hard time, but ultimately this is a family. It’s really a big community of people connected by a common passion. I think that’s why we’re able to do this kind of stuff and not worry about people thinking less of us. Even at the highest level, we’re out there having fun.”
Johnny Gaudreau
