BOSTON – Senior captain Nicole Poulakis (Ajax, Ontario) of the University of New Hampshire field hockey team was named the America East Offensive Player of the Week on Tuesday. It is the second consecutive week and third time this season she has received this honor.
Poulakis recorded six goals for a total of 12 points in two games last week. The senior captain recorded career highs of four goals and eight points to propel UNH to a 7-0 win at UMass Lowell on Oct. 17. She then scored both Wildcat goals at Boston College on Oct. 19.
Poulakis scored the first four goals of the game to stake UNH to a 4-0 lead in the third quarter. She opened the game scoring at 17:50 and struck again before halftime at 24:07. Poulakis then scored goals 2 minutes, 7 seconds apart in the third quarter to quickly double the Wildcats' lead to four goals. The third goal of the game marked her 50th career goal.
Poulakis became the sixth UNH Wildcat to score 50 career goals with her third goal at UMass Lowell. She is the first 'Cat to score four goals in a game since Sept. 21, 2014 (Meg Flatley vs. Hofstra).
The eight points marked the highest total by a Wildcat since Oct. 16, 2022 (Tamera Cookman with 3g, 2a vs. Merrimack).
Poulakis extended her goal streak to four games and point streak to 10 with Sunday's pair of goals at BC. She has 16 goals and seven assists for 39 points during the streak.
Poulakis has factored in multiple goals each of the past six games and in eight games this season.
She enters the week ranked #2 in the nation in points per game and #5 in goals per game.
The first time Poulakis was named Player of the Week in 2025 was Sept. 30.
New Hampshire returns to action Oct. 24 (2pm) at UAlbany and ends a stretch of four consecutive road games Oct. 26 (12pm) at Lafayette. The Wildcats' next home game is a Senior Day matchup against Bryant on Oct. 30 (3pm).
