WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Freshman forward Patrick Grasso (Ankeny, Iowa) of the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team was named the Warrior Hockey Player of the Week Monday as announced by the Hockey East Association.
Grasso had a five-point weekend as the Wildcats went 2-0-0 to begin Hockey East play. In Friday's 4-1 road win at the University of Massachusetts, he picked up an assist on the game-winning goal while in Saturday's home win against Merrimack College, the rookie scored four goals, including a natural hat trick in the span of three minutes, 56 seconds. Three of his tallies came on power plays. He was the first Wildcat to score four goals in a game since Steve Moses ('12) did so on January 14, 2012. Grasso now has eight goals and two assists for 10 points. His goal total leads the nation among rookies and he is tied for third in overall points by rookies. He holds the top spot in power play goals among Division I hockey players with five.
The Wildcats are back in action on Friday, Nov. 4 as they host Sacred Heart University at 7 p.m. at the Whittemore Center. They are also home on Saturday, Nov. 5 against Mercyhurst at 7 p.m. For tickets, visit www.UNHWildcats.com.
