College Hockey America has named senior Victoria Klimek the Player of the Week, the conference announced Monday.
Klimek scored all three of Syracuse’s goals in its two-game weekend series against Penn State. Syracuse lost 2-1 on Saturday and tied 2-2 on Sunday. She scored twice in the opening period, but the Orange blew a two-goal lead in the final period and hung on during overtime for a tie. Klimek is one of five seniors on SU’s roster.
The senior forward also won CHA Player of the Week on Nov. 18, 2019 following a two-point performance against St. Lawrence.
Klimek, Syracuse’s leading scorer, also notched two assists in SU’s season-opener against Colgate. She scored her first goal in the 7-1 blowout win against RIT on Nov. 27 and scored nine goals and had 10 assists in 2019-20.
From Orangeville, Ontario, Klimek started with the Orange as a freshman in 2017 after spending two seasons in the PWHL with the Oakville Junior Hornets.
Syracuse returns home this weekend to Tennity Ice Pavilion for the second half of its four-game series against the Nittany Lions.
