QBSN Athlete of the Week: Kelly Babstock
This week’s athlete of the week honors belong to Kelly Babstock (Mississauga, Ontario) of Quinnipiac University’s women’s ice hockey team.
The freshman forward was lights out this past weekend in her first collegiate games, when the Bobcats traveled to upstate New York to face on the Niagara University Purple Eagles. Babstock recorded a goal and an assist in the Friday game; a 3-0 Quinnipiac victory. She followed up her impressive collegiate debut with another goal and two assists in the Saturday game; a 3-1 Quinnipiac victory.
In addition to QBSN Athlete of the Week honors, Babstock was awarded ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Week. The Bobcats wound up sweeping all of the ECAC Hockey awards for the week, as junior Kate Wheeler (Oakville, Ontario) won Player of the Week, and sophomore Victoria Vigilanti (Woodbridge, Ontario) won Goaltender of the Week.
The sweep of Niagara gets the Bobcats off to an impressive 2-0 start; in a season where expectations for the team are at an all time high. Quinnipiac returns home for their first home weekend of the season, as they take on Northeastern University at the TD Bank Sports Center Saturday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m., and Sacred Heart University Sunday, Oct. 10 at 5 p.m..
Both games will be broadcasted on the Quinnipiac Bobcats Sports Network, as Brian Farrell and Peter Rossi have the call Saturday, with Brian Farrell and Nick Palumbo on the call for Sunday.
