Sweeney Named Northeast-10 Conference Freshman Of The Week

Falmouth, Mass. native tallied two points at Westfield State

RINDGE, N.H. (November 16, 2009) – Freshman forward Roscoe Sweeney (Falmouth, Mass.) of the Franklin Pierce University ice hockey team has been named Northeast-10 Conference Freshman of the Week for the week ending on Nov. 15, as announced Monday by the conference office.

Sweeney tallied a goal and an assist for two points while playing in all three games for the Ravens last week. Both of his points came in the second period on Thursday night at Westfield State. Early on, he assisted on a goal by Phil LaBreck which tied the game at 2-2 just 3:14 into the period. Later, 10:16 into the stanza, he found the back of the net for his first career goal to tie the game at 3-3 at the time. In other action last week, Sweeney recorded one shot on goal at Wentworth on Monday night and three at Nichols on Saturday afternoon.

On the season, Sweeney has recorded one goal and two assists for three points while playing in all five games for Franklin Pierce.

This marks the second week in a row in which a Franklin Pierce hockey player has been named Freshman of the Week by the Northeast-10. Forward Michael Carr earned the honors a week ago.

The Ravens (1-3-1, 0-0-0 Northeast-10) return to the ice on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 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.
