Cunningham Named USCHO.com Offensive Player of Week

HANOVER, N.H. - Sophomore forward Jenna Cunningham (Medicine Hat, Alta.) continues to rack up the honors as she was named the USCHO Offensive Player of the Week after her performances against Princeton and Quinnipiac.

Cunningham led the Big Green to two conference wins over the weekend with a combined three goals and four assists for seven points. Against Princeton, in a 4-3 comeback win, Cunningham netted the gamewinner and added two assists. The next afternoon, she posted two goals, one on the power play, and recorded two more assists to lead the Big Green to an 8-1 win over Quinnipiac.

Cunningham currently leads the nation with three points per game and is tied for the top spot in goals per game with 1.5 goals per contest.

This is the second time Cunningham has earned the national award. Last season, she was given the award following her first career hat trick, including the gamewinner against Princeton on Nov. 24.

The Big Green will be on the road this weekend as Dartmouth travels to Providence to face the Friars at 2 p.m. at Schneider Arena.
