For the third time this season, a member of the Orange was named College Hockey America’s Rookie of the Week.

In a two-game set last weekend against Robert Morris, Brynn Koocher scored a goal and tallied an assist. Koocher notched the only goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win over the Colonials, which lifted head coach Paul Flanagan to 400 career victories.

After starting the 2019-20 season without a point in her first five games, Koocher has begun to find the scoresheet on a regular basis. In her last seven games, Koocher has tallied six points, including five goals. The Ontario native is fourth in scoring among freshman for the Orange with eight points, trailing Mae Batherson (15 points), Anna Leschyshyn (11) and Madison Beishuizen (9).

Earlier this season, Koocher said that she was playing a lot more than she expected to during her freshman season.

“It was a huge transition coming in,” Koocher said. “With the speed of the game and the physicality of it.”

Koocher’s honor was the second in as many weeks for the Orange, as Batherson won CHA rookie of the week last week following a four-point weekend against Mercyhurst.
