Anchoring a defensive corps that has helped lead the Terriers to a nine-game winning streak, senior co-captain Chris Dyment (Reading, MA) was named Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week on Feb. 25.

Dyment finished with three assists and was a plus-3 during a weekend home-and-home sweep of Providence College, B.U.'s eighth- and ninth-straight victories.

On Friday night, the Reading,MA native picked up a pair of assists in the Terriers' 5-2 win over the Friars at Walter Brown Arena. The following night, he assisted on Mike Pandolfo's (Burlington, MA) 20th goal of the season as B.U. completed the sweep with a 4-2 victory.

For the season he has totaled 6-13--19 in playing all 32 games, while leading the team in plus/minus with a plus-23 on the year. For his career, Dyment has scored 19-48--67 in 136 games.

The Terriers, ranked fifth in the country, stand at 23-7-2 on the season, and 15-5-2 in Hockey East, good for first place with 32 points. The team's nine-game winning streak is the longest since the team won 14-straight during the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons.

It is the second time this season Dyment has been honored with the selection, and third overall. He was also named Defensive Player of the Week on December 9. As a sophomore, he was honored on November 29, 1999. Dyment earned Player of the Week honors on October 28.
