DURHAM, N.H. -- Junior Molly McAteer (Annapolis, Md.) of the UNH field hockey team and junior midfielder Rory O'Driscoll (Minneapolis, Minn.) of the UNH men's soccer team were named the Service Credit Union Student-Athletes of the Week on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
McAteer recorded a goal and an assist for the University of New Hampshire field hockey team this past Sunday, Sept. 19 against #3 Boston College. She was credited with an assist on UNH's first goal of the game when her initial shot was tipped into the cage to tie the score at 1. Molly then scored her first collegiate goal to give the Wildcats a 2-1 lead just 2 minutes, 17 seconds later. Her efforts brought the game to overtime against the nationally-ranked Eagles, and she finished with a personal-best three points.Â
Molly also had one shot on goal on Sept. 17 when the Wildcats traveled to Bryant and took home a 2-1 double-overtime victory.Â
The Wildcats return to action Friday, Sept. 24 against the University of California in the first of two homes games on the weekend. The game begins at 3 p.m. at Memorial Field.
Â
O'Driscoll scored three goals this past week including one game-winning penalty kick that led to a 2-1 victory over Marist College and the only two goals in the Wildcats' shutout win vs. UAlbany.Â
In the Sept. 14 matchup at Marist, Rory scored a penalty kick in the 62nd minute following the Red Foxes foul in the box to give UNH a 2-0 lead.
Rory also scored the game's first goal in the 7th minute of the Sept. 18 game against UAlbany. He sealed the Great Danes' fate in the 79th minute when he scored on a penalty kick to give New Hampshire a 2-0 lead.Â
UNH returns to action Tuesday, Sept. 21 versus Quinnipiac at 6 p.m. at Wildcat Stadium on AmericaEast.TV. The game will be a showdown of two undefeated teams as Quinnipiac is 5-0-0. UNH also plays Sept. 25 (7 p.m.) at Hartford.
