HAMBURG, N.Y. – The UCHC announced its player of the week honors this afternoon and Hilbert College's Victoria Battaglia and Tia Card were each recognized for their performances in the Hawks' unbeaten weekend series against MCLA.

Battaglia (Brampton, ON, Canada\St. Thomas Aquinas) was named Rookie of the Week, while Card (Burlington, Ontario, Canada\Dr. Frank J. Hayden Secondary School) was named Goaltender of the Week.

Victoria Battaglia notched three points on a goal and a pair of assists this weekend against Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. She tallied a helper in Friday's 3-1 win, before igniting the Hawks' third-period comeback on Saturday with a goal and an assist in the final frame to erase a 2-0 deficit and force overtime in Saturday's 2-2 tie. Battaglia fired ten shots across the two games, and led the Hawks with 26 faceoff wins on 49 draws (53%) while also blocking six shots.

Tia Card was nearly flawless in Friday's 3-1 victory over Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. The senior goaltender made 41 stops on 42 shots for a .976 save percentage in the contest, earning the win in between the pipes. Card stopped the final 24 Trailblazer shots she saw, including all 21 third period attempts and she made seven saves while shorthanded throughout the game.
