University of Minnesota freshman forward Kelly Terry has been named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s Rookie of the Week after a stellar performance last Saturday against Bemidji State. It is Terry’s first weekly award as a Golden Gopher and the team’s fifth of the season.
A right winger from Whitby, Ontario, Terry led the Gophers on Dec. 4 with a goal and three assists for a career-high, four-point performance and earned a +2 plus/minus rating. She started her scoring performance when she set up teammate Sarah Davis for the first goal of the game at 13:34. After Amanda Kessel tallied at 14:34, Terry scored the eventual game-winning goal just :05 seconds later at 14:39, giving Minnesota a 3-0 lead and three goals in just 1:05. Terry also set up Megan Bozek’s goal at 5:34 in the second period and held a power-play assist on Anne Schleper’s third period marker.
In 17 games played this season, Terry has scored seven goals and has a team-high 12 assists to lead the Gophers in scoring with 19 points. Of those 19 points, 17 have come in conference action.
Terry and the rest of the Golden Gophers host Ohio State University, Friday night and Saturday afternoon. Friday’s game is set for a 6:07 p.m. start, while Saturday’s game is scheduled for 2:07 p.m. The OSU series marks the last competition for the Golden Gophers until Jan. 7.
