Turners Falls High School graduate Cassidhe Wozniak had her first career two-goal game for the Becker College women’s hockey team in a 4-2 loss to Nichols College in Harrisville, Rhode Island, on Friday.
The performance helped Wozniak win the Colonial Hockey Conference Rookie of the Week award for the second time this season. Wozniak first claimed the Rookie of the Week award after posting a four-point week in mid-January.

Wozniak is only the fourth player in program history to have nine goals in a season and sits five tallies short of the program record for goals in a season (14).
