GRAND FORKS, N.D. (UND Athletics)– Freshman forward Sacha Boisvert picked up another weekly honor on Monday afternoon, earning NCHC Rookie of the Week as announced by the league office.

Boisvert was a factor in both victories over Minnesota Duluth last weekend to help the Fighting Hawks grab six points, striking for three goals, firing eight shots on goal, blocking two shots and notching a plus-2 rating.

The rookie opened his weekend with the eventual game winner in Friday’s 4-2 win before exploding for his first multi-goal game of his career with a pair of tallies in the second period of Saturday’s 6-1 trouncing to record his first three-goal weekend and fourth three-point weekend as a collegiate player.
