In a mild surprise, senior defenseman Emily Pfalzer of the Boston College women's hockey team was named female Eagle of the Year last night at the all sports awards banquet, beating out a number of other excellent candidates including her teammate Alex Carpenter, Liv Westphal (who won last year) and Covie Stanwick.
On the men's side, there was only one obvious choice, however: Olivier Hanlan was honored as the men's Eagle of the Year. Hanlan emerged down the stretch as the clear choice for BC's premier male athlete, leading the ACC in scoring and being named a first team All-ACC player.
