CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Junior Tiya Gallegos has been named America East Player of the Week, the conference office has announced Monday afternoon. Gallegos scored three goals and added one assist in two games last week.
The Lakewood, Calif. native tallied seven points in two victories over Hartford, 3-0, and Vermont, 7-0. Gallegos registered the game-winning goal off a header in a 3-0 win over Hartford on Thursday and she followed that performance with a two-goal, one-assist showing in a 7-0 victory over Vermont Sunday.
The win was BU's seventh-straight, all coming via shutout, and it has outscored America East opponents 17-0 in five league games. Gallegos has already surpassed her season-high with five goals, which ranks her fifth among league leaders, as does her 12 points.
BU returns to action on Wednesday (Oct. 13) at 7 p.m. at Dartmouth.
