WAKEFIELD, Mass. – Nicole Kelly (Brantford, Ontario), a freshman forward on the University of New Hampshire women's hockey team, was named the Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week by Hockey East on Monday.
Kelly tallied three points, all on assists, in UNH's series split against eighth-ranked Boston University this past weekend. She recorded her first career multiple-point game with two helpers in Saturday's 4-3 victory at the Whittemore Center. Her other series stats included six shots, one block and an even plus/minus rating.
In Saturday's win, Kelly recorded the primary assist on each of the team's first two goals (6 minutes, 39 seconds apart in the second period) to transform a two-goal deficit into a 2-2 tie. She finished the game with three shots, one block and a +1 rating.
Last Friday, Kelly set up the goal that trimmed UNH's deficit to 2-1 at 3:18 of the final frame. BU held on to win by that score at the Whitt.
Through four games, Kelly has recorded four points, all on assists, to lead the Wildcats in assists. She tallied her first career pointing her Nov. 20 collegiate debut with an assist vs. Boston College
New Hampshire (1-3-0 overall, 0-2-0 0-0 HE) is scheduled to return to action Dec. 11-12 with a two-game home series against the University of Maine.
