DEMEULE HARD TO MISS AS WCHA OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Last Updated: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 12:23 PM
Karine Demeule didn't miss too many chances on the goal step this past weekend, and now she is going to be even harder to miss on the ice.
The University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey senior captain was named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's Offensive Player of the Week for her three-goal performance against Bemidji State last Saturday and Sunday. Demeule netted two goals on Saturday to help lift UMD over the Beavers 4-0, and scored her second game winner of the series Sunday afternoon to elevate the Bulldogs 1-0 and extend their winning streak to four games.
A native of Montreal, Quebec, and the lone UMD senior, Demeule pushed her season goal-total to four, averaging one goal per game for the unbeaten Bulldogs. Just one season ago, Demeule flexed her scoring muscle against Bemidji by scoring two goals against the Beavers on Oct. 20, 2006.
The No. 5 Bulldogs return to the DECC ice this weekend for a clash with non-conference opponent No. 2 Mercyhurst. The first rematch of last season's overtime NCAA Quarterfinal game with start at 3:07 p.m. Saturday, while the second puck will drop at 1:07 p.m.
Incidentally, Emily Brookshaw, who stopped 81 of 86 UMD shots during the UMD sweep, was named the WCHA Defensive Player of the Week.
