Bear's Silveira named ECAC West Player of the Week

Posted

POTSDAM, N.Y.—SUNY Potsdam hockey player Jessica Silveira has been named the ECAC West Player of the Week for the week ending Dec. 11.

Silveira, a sophomore forward, scored five goals and recorded an assist in the Bears’ weekend sweep at St. Michael’s on Dec. 9-10. In Friday’s contest, Silveira broke open a 3-2 contest with a natural hat trick in the third period as Potsdam captured a 6-2 victory. The sophomore scored two more third period goals and added an assist to help the Bears pull away for another 6-2 win on Saturday.

Silveira is currently second on the team with a team-high seven goals and three assists for 10 points in 11 games. The forward has already matched her career-high for goals in a season halfway through her sophomore year.

The SUNY Potsdam women’s hockey team (4-6-1, 4-6-1 ECAC West) is off until No. 8 Plattsburgh invades Maxcy Ice Arena at 3 p.m. on Jan. 6.
