Athletes of the Month — February & March

The February female athlete of the month is Taylor Curtis, a member of the women’s ice hockey team. During the month of February, the Huskies went 8-1 largely due to the work of Taylor. Through solid leadership and intense play, she was able to average a point per game scoring 5 goals and 4 assists in the nine games. This effort was critical considering that the Huskies were without three players for two of the team’s more challenging games. On top of her tremendous leadership and scoring, Taylor was relentless on the penalty kill helping to keep opposing teams off the scoreboard. She used her dominating power and speed to control the pace of the game for the Huskies. For her work throughout the month, Taylor is awarded the athlete of the month. 

 

The male athlete of the month in February goes to Zach Godwin, a member of the ski team. He was a dominating force for the team all winter. He won five of the eight races the team completed in the season, including the Lakes Region Slalom Championship and the NEPSAC GS Championship. Of the three races in which he did not place first, he was second once and comfortably leading the other two before late-race mental lapses. For his expertise in helping his teammates and for instilling fear in other team’s number 1’s, the February Male athlete of the month goes to Zach Godwin.

 

Rebecca Ripley has just completed her sophomore campaign as a member of the Girl’s basketball team. She was instrumental in the team’s success this season as she averaged close to a double-double in points and rebounds. Additionally, Rebecca started every game and played significant minutes for the Huskies. Becca is an extremely versatile athlete as she played multiple positions on the floor and defended both guards and forwards alike. Her size, strength, and passion for the game made her standout throughout the year. Her growth in both the mental and physical aspects of the game were essential throughout the season especially in a 25 point, 14 rebound outing against Worcester nearing the end of the regular season. She was acknowledged as a Class A All-Star. For her continuous hard work, Rebecca Ripley is awarded this February female athlete of the month.
