PSU Field Hockey players receive LEC weekly honors

Treichel and Frenette represent Panthers 

            PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Two Plymouth State University field hockey players were recognized by the Little East Conference Monday with top weekly honors for their performances in a pair of Panther victories last week.

            Junior Brittany Treichel (Clinton, Conn./Morgan School) was named LEC Defensive Player of the Week, and freshman Annabelle Frenette (Old Orchard Beach, Maine) was selected LEC Rookie of the Week.  The two were honored after leading the Panthers to a pair of LEC shutout victories last week over Framingham State University and Eastern Connecticut State University.

            A 5’4” defender, Treichel (right) led the Panther defense to the back-to-back shutouts.  PSU did not allow a shot to Framingham State and surrendered only three shots to Eastern Conn.  Treichel also scored her first career goal against Eastern Conn. in 52 career games.

            A 5’4” midfielder, Frenette (left) scored three goals for six points in the two games.  She tallied two goals in PSU’s 4-0 win over Framingham State on Wednesday, and added one goal in Saturday’s 10-0 rout over Eastern Connecticut.  Frenette is now tied for third on the team in scoring with six goals and 12 points.

            The Panthers, who have won four in a row to improve to 6-3 overall and 4-1 in the LEC, host rival Keene State on Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. at Arold Field.
