WCHA Rookie of the Week

Jessica Wong - Fr., F, Minnesota Duluth

University of Minnesota Duluth freshman right winger Jessica Wong scored two goals and added an assist this past weekend, helping the host Bulldogs take two WCHA victories from Wisconsin.

The product of Baddeck, Nova Scotia netted the Bulldogs' second goal of the game last Saturday (Jan. 16), just 1:35 into the second period. She then iced the Badgers chances of a late comeback when she skated the length of the ice and managed to sneak the puck past Wisconsin's goaltender with 1:30 remaining in the contest, giving Minnesota Duluth a 5-3 lead. Wong also had five shots and was +2 on the night, as well as helping the Bulldogs' power-play go 2-of-4.

Then last Sunday (Jan. 17), Wong dished a game-winning assist to teammate Katie Wilson, 3:13 into the second stanza. Wong was +1 in UMD's 2-1 victory over the defending national champion Badgers to make her +3 in the series.

On the 2009-10 season, Wong has 14 points (7g, 7a) for the Bulldogs.

Also nominated for the award this week were: Erika Wheelhouse, D, BSU; Megan Bozek, D, UM; Chelsea Knapp, G, OSU; and Lisa Martinson, D, SCSU.
