BEVERLY, Mass. — Three members of the Endicott women's ice hockey team have earned Conference of New England (CNE) weekly awards, as announced by the league office on Monday.
The trio of Samantha Fantasia (Billerica, Mass.), Casey Moritz (Trophy Club, Texas), and Jo Wimler (Portland, Conn.) took home Player of the Week, Goalie of the Week, and Rookie of the Week accolades, respectively.
SAMANTHA FANTASIA
Fantasia scored her first career hat-trick to lead the Gulls past Norwich, 4-0, in non-conference action and tied a team-high with a +3 rating.
The senior potted one goal in each period and was the seventh hat-trick in program history.
This is Fantasia's first CNE Player of the Week award this season and second career Player of the Week award (2/5/24).
CASEY MORITZ
In Endicott's 4-0 win over Norwich, Moritz stopped 24 shots en route to her third shutout this season and ninth of her career.
After Norwich trailed 2-0 early in the second period, the Cadets put 17 shots on goal across the second and third periods, as Moritz stopped them all to secure the win in a matchup that featured two teams receiving votes in the latest USCHO poll.
This is Moritz's first CNE Goalie of the Week award this season and sixth of her career (10/30/23, 12/11/23, 1/8/24, 1/22/24, 2/12/24).
JO WIMLER
Wimler recorded an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 victory over Norwich as she finished with a +1 rating in the contest.
The Portland, Conn. native was also 5-12 at the faceoff in the win.
This marks Wimler's first career CNE Rookie of the Week award.
WHAT'S NEXT
Endicott (9-3-0) is off until after the new year when it hosts No. 1 Middlebury on Friday, January 3 at 5 PM.
