Roscoe Sweeney has been named to Northeast-10 Conference Player of
the Week and Freshman of the Week.RINDGE, N.H. (February 1,
2010) – Freshman forward Roscoe Sweeney
(Falmouth, Mass.) of the Franklin Pierce University ice
hockey team has been named the Northeast-10 Conference Player of
the Week and Freshman of the Week for the week ending on Jan. 31,
as announced Monday by the conference office.
Sweeney tallied five points on three goals and two assists in
Franklin Pierce’s only game last week, a 7-4 victory at
Stonehill on Saturday. Of his three goals, two came shorthanded,
which marked the first time in program history a Raven had scored
twice shorthanded in the same season, let alone in the same game.
Sweeney’s second shorthanded goal would prove to be the
game-winner and came with Franklin Pierce facing a two-man
disadvantage. It was the second three-on-five goal scored in
program history, with the other coming earlier this season by
senior forward Phil LaBreck against University of
New England on Jan. 12. Sweeney’s performance was the first
five-point game by a Franklin Pierce player since Casey
Goodell chalked up five points with one goal and four
assists in a 9-6 win at Worcester State on Nov. 12, 2007.
On the season, Sweeney is second on the team with 24 points in his
first 20 games. He has scored nine goals and leads the team with 15
assists. Sweeney has a pair of power-play goals and a pair of
shorthanded goals on the campaign and joins sophomore forward
Anthony Chighisola as the only Ravens to average
at least one point per game.
The Ravens (5-13-2, 2-4-1 Northeast-10) return to the ice on
Saturday, Feb. 6, when they return home to host Southern New
Hampshire in a Northeast-10 Conference contest. Faceoff is
scheduled for 7 p.m. at The Winchendon School Ice Arena in
Winchendon, Mass.
