Cunningham Selected Dartmouth Athlete of Week

The following article featuring Dartmouth forward Jenna Cunningham appeared December 4 on the Dartmouth Web site.

 

Each week, DartmouthSports.com will spotlight two outstanding student-athletes - one male, one female - as Dartmouth's Athletes of the Week and senior co-captain Jenna Cunningham was the third women's hockey player in a row to win the award.

Dartmouth Female Athlete of the Week:
Jenna Cunningham (Medicine Hat, Alta.) Women's Hockey, Forward, Senior
Senior co-captain Jenna Cunningham has been one of the most consistent players for the Big Green in her three-plus seasons. She recently reached the 100-point plateau with two goals in a 6-2 over Brown on Nov. 20. Unlike some scorers who tally more goals than assists or vice versa, Cunningham was split right down the middle. Currently after a three-point week, she has 52 career goals and 52 assists. Cunningham is not in the top-10 in either of those categories, but became the 31st member of the 100-point club. In a 1-1 week for the Big Green, she recorded assists on both of Dartmouth's goals in a 3-2 loss to 10th-ranked Harvard. In a tight 4-3 win over Vermont last Saturday, scored her team-leading third power play goal of the season in a four-goal first period for the Big Green.
