After scoring two goals to help the top-ranked Boston University men's ice hockey team post a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over Harvard in the first round of the Beanpot, sophomore Nick Bonino has been named the GoTerriers.com Student Athlete of the Week.

The forward helped the Terriers erase a 2-0 deficit against the Crimson by scoring his eighth and ninth goals of the season. Later in the week, he recorded two assists in a 5-3 home victory over UMass Lowell. Bonino was also named Hockey East Co-Player of the Week for his effort.

Bonino went on to earn Beanpot MVP honors, as he scored the first of three shorthanded goals for BU in its 5-2 victory over Northeastern in Monday's championship game.

For the season, Bonino is tied for second on the team in points with 28 on 10 goals and 18 assists.
