Jen Schoullis was named the U.S. College Hockey Online and the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Player of the Week, announced today by both organizations. Along with Schoullis earning player of the week honors, freshman Monique Lamoureux was named the WCHA Rookie of the Week for the second straight week. The duo led the Golden Gophers in wins against Ohio State last weekend at Ridder Arena.
Jen Schoullis, a sophomore forward from Erie, Pa., produced five scoring points on three goals and two assists to help power the host Golden Gophers over Ohio State twice in a two-game WCHA series. Setting a career-high two goals in the 8-1 win over the Buckeyes last Friday (Oct. 17), Schoullis scored two even-strength goals on just three shots attempted to put the Golden Gophers up, 6-0. Then last Saturday (Oct. 18), Schoullis netted her third goal of the weekend when she scored a game-winning, power-play goal to help secure the Gophers’ Saturday victory as the Buckeyes tied the game, 2-2, prior to Schoullis’ winner. In addition to her five points, Schoullis also fired eight shots on goal, the team’s best shooting percentage (.375), and earned a +3 plus/minus rating. Heading into the OSU series, Schoullis had one goal in four games.
Monique Lamoureux, a freshman from Grand Forks, N.D., led the team in scoring this past weekend when she had two goals and four assists for six points. Firing off a team-high 11 shots, Lamoureux tied for the team-lead in best plus/minus rating with a +4. In last Friday’s (Oct. 17) 8-1 victory over Ohio State, Lamoureux scored the Gophers’ first goal of the game just 1:21 into the contest and assisted on Jen Schoullis’ second goal of the game. Last Saturday (Oct. 18), Lamoureux set a career-high with four points in the 8-2 victory. Lamoureux was apart of the Gophers’ first three goals and assisted on Rachael Drazan’s goal. She and Wisconsin freshman forward Brooke Ammerman shared the rookie of the week award.
No. 2 Minnesota travels to Madison, Wis., to take on No. 1 Wisconsin. The Gophers and Badgers will compete on Friday, Oct. 24 and again on Sunday Oct. 26 at the Kohl Center. Both games are set for a 2:07 p.m. start.
