Cambridge, Mass. - UAlbany's Nicole Savage was named the America East Conference Field Hockey Player of the Week, as announced by the league office on Monday afternoon. It is Savage's second weekly award this season.

Savage tallied two assists in the Great Danes' 2-0 win over Boston U. that clinched UAlbany's second consecutive America East regular-season title. Savage, who is tied for the team lead with six goals on the season, recorded her sixth and seventh helpers for the year. She assisted on the game-winning goal in the 34th minute, before passing off to Alysia Hough in the 47th minute for an insurance goal. The senior forward also finished with a team-high three shots, including two on goal, in the game between the league's final two undefeated teams in conference play.
