MADISON, Wis.— After regaining the top spot in the USCHO rankings and sweeping St. Cloud State over the weekend, Wisconsin women's hockey senior Daryl Watts and freshman Lacey Eden have earned WCHA Player of the Week honors.Â
Watts, the 2018 Patty Kazmaier Memorial Award winner, posted an NCAA-best eight points over the weekend en route to being named the WCHA Forward of the Week. She recorded a career-high six points in Friday's 10-0 shutout, including her first hat trick as a Badger. This is her second consecutive week being named WCHA Forward of the Week.
The Toronto, Ontario, native also topped the NCAA over the weekend with four goals, four assists, two power-play points and a +6 plus/minus rating. Watts is currently on a six-game goal streak and a 10-game point streak.
Watts also hit a couple of career milestones over the weekend as she became the 24th NCAA player to record 100 goals and moved into 20th place in NCAA history for career points.Â
Eden earns WCHAÂ Rookie of the Week after scoring a goal late in the final frame of Saturday's game to give the Badgers a lead over the Huskies. The Annapolis, Maryland, native also scored a goal and two points in Friday's shutout. Her two goals over the weekend tied for most by NCAA freshmen.
After joining the Badgers a few weeks ago, Eden has recorded three goals and one assist in just four games.Â
The top-ranked Badgers head into a bye weekend before hitting the road next week to take on the No. 2 Minnesota Golden Gophers in Minneapolis.Â
