Carpenter Wins Warrior Hockey Player of the Month
PC's Putigna Nabs Top Rookie; Burt Collects Best Goalie Honors Again
 |
Senior Forward; North Reading, Massachusetts
Carpenter led all of Hockey East in scoring during November with 16 points on seven goals and nine assists, all of which were recorded in league play, and won 67 percent of all faceoffs, which also led the conference. She produced in nearly every situation, as she netted two game-winning strikes, a pair of power-play goals and one shorthanded tally as she helped lead the Eagles to a 7-0-0 month as they remained undefeated and untied on the year. In the lone overtime game, she potted the deciding tally Nov. 10 against Boston University. She registered four multi-point games, including a five-point (1g, 4a) night at Boston University and a four-point outing against Providence (1g, 3a).
