MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) released its Kwik Trip Athletes of the Week for the week of Dec. 22-Jan. 4, with
MaKenna Aure representing UW-River Falls as the Women's Hockey Athlete of the Week.
Aure delivered a historic weekend for the Falcons Jan. 2-3 at Hunt Arena. She recorded her 100th career point and became the first defender in program history to eclipse the 100-point mark. Across a two-game series against Concordia College, Aure totaled three goals and four assists as the Falcons outscored the Cobbers 15-3 over the two games.
The award is the third of Aure's career (second this season) and UWRF's fourth WIAC Player of the Week award winner this season, following
Megan Goodreau (Nov. 3-9) and
Sophia Hess (Nov. 24-30).
No. 1-ranked UWRF (11-1, 2-1 WIAC) travels to face St. Kate's in St. Paul, Minn., tomorrow night.
