WAKEFIELD, Mass. – The Hockey East Association announced Monday that Boston College women's hockey freshman Maddy McArthur has been named the league's Defensive Player of the Week after she backstopped the Eagles to shutout win over conference foe Holy Cross.
McArthur earned the shutout by making 16 saves to blank the Crusaders, 6-0, on Friday night at Kelley Rink. The win pushed BC's winning streak to six games and McArthur has now gone five consecutive contests without giving up more than two goals. The St. Catherines, Ontario native came up with nine stops against Holy Cross in the first frame to help the Eagles head into the first intermission with a 2-0 lead.
