Sophomore forward Tianna Lopes (West Vancouver, British Columbia/Pacific Steelers (JWHL)) of the Manhattanville College women's ice hockey team picked up three weekly honors for the Valiants for her play last week. She was first selected as the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Offensive Player of the Week, the conference announced today, Monday, Jan. 21. Then, Tuesday, Jan. 22, the United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) named her the Player of the Week.

Most recently, Lopes was selected to the D3Hockey.com National Team of the Week Thursday, Jan. 23.

The Valiant winger helped lead her squad to a 5-2 win over Trinity College this past Tuesday, Jan. 15, with a pair of special teams goals -- one on the powerplay and one shorthanded. Lopes and the Valiants then played to a series split with UCHC rival William Smith College over the weekend. She notched an assist during the 4-2 win over the Herons Saturday, Jan. 19, and then assisted on all three Manhattanville goals in a tough 6-3 loss Sunday afternoon, Jan. 20.

This is Lopes' first-career weekly honor from either D3Hockey.com, the UCHC or MAC.

She and the rest of the squad will now take the rest of January off before resuming competition at Playland Ice Casino in Rye, N.Y., for a UCHC weekend series against Neumann University. The Knights come to town Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 2-3, for 7:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. scheduled puck-drops, respectively. Additionally, Valiant women's hockey will also host its annual Alumnae Day that Saturday.
