Laurel Lake Placid Forward of the Week

Friday night against Dartmouth, Manness scored both goals, including the overtime game-winner with 4.4 seconds left for the Golden Knights. The next day, Manness stayed hot, scoring two goals, including the game-winner, over Harvard, which was a record breaker for the Knights, as she became the first Clarkson player in program history to score a goal in 10 consecutive games in the course of one season. Manness has now tallied 15 goals in her 10-game streak.

ADAPT Nutrition Defender of the Week
Makayla Watson (So., Quinnipiac) has been named the ADAPT Nutrition Defender of the Week for the second week in a row. The Bobcats went 2-0 over Colgate and No. 12 Cornell. Friday night in the Bobcats' 5-1 win over Colgate, Watson scored three goals, including the game winner, completing her first career hat trick with an empty-net goal, becoming the first Quinnipiac defenseman in 15 years to record a hat trick. Watson is second in assists (18), third in points (24), and leads defenders in goals (6).
