Top rookie honors for McAvoy; Women fall in HE final



Freshman Charlie McAvoy was named Hockey East’s Pro Ambitions Rookie of the Week following a four-assist, +5 performance in the two-game sweep of UMass. The right-shot defenseman is the third Terrier to win top rookie honors this season and the first BU blueliner to record four assists in a game since Matt Gilroy in the 2009 NCAA regional vs. Ohio State. Jakob Forsbacka Karlsson was selected in November and Jordan Greenway was R-O-W twice last month. Senior assistant captain Danny O’Regan and freshman Bobo Carpenter were named to the list of weekly top performers.
