Klimek Named CHA Player of the Week

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - The second multi-point game of her career helped junior forward Victoria Klimek earn College Hockey America (CHA) Player of the Week honors. Klimek tallied a goal and as assist in Syracuse ice hockey's 4-3 overtime loss to St. Lawrence Saturday in War Memorial Arena.

Klimek started the day by earning the primary assist on senior forward Anonda Hoppner's game-opening goal halfway through the first period. Klimek then scored six minutes into the second period off a pass from freshman Anna Leschyshyn to tie the game at 2-2. The Orangeville, Ontario native now has two goals and two assists on the year. In three years at Syracuse, she's scored 14 times with six assists for 20 points.

Klimek is the third Orange player to be recognized by the conference this season. Freshman defender Mae Batherson earned Rookie of the Week honors following her three-point (2G, 1A) weekend against RIT Nov. 1-2, and junior defender Jessica DiGirolamo was named Player of the Week on Oct. 7 after scoring one goal and logging two assists against No. 7 Boston College.
