BIDDEFORD, Maine – Jenna Caballero of the Suffolk women's hockey team took home Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) Rookie of the Week honors after recording three points in a 2-0-0 weekend for the Rams, the league office announced Monday afternoon.
Caballero, a freshman from Middletown, New Jersey, opened the week with a career-high offensive output of two points in a 5-0 triumph at Western New England. In the shutout, the defenseman had one goal and one assist. A day later, Caballero poured in a power play goal in a 2-1 win over the Golden Bears.
The weekly award is a first for Caballero in her collegiate career and marks the third time this season that a Rams' rookie was acknowledged by the league for their effort over a seven-day stretch. Liliana Moose took home the feat a week ago and Livia Brehm garnered the same recognition Dec. 12, 2022. In addition to the trio of rookie nodes, Suffolk has a pair of player of the week honors, one for each of its captains, Shana Cote and Madison Duff, who earned the accolades Oct. 31 and Dec. 12, respectively. Lily O'Neil grabbed CCC Goaltender of the Week Dec. 12 to bring the blue-and-gold's season weekly award total to six.
Suffolk has a full weekend ahead with a trip to the University of New England on tap Friday, Feb. 3. A day later, Saturday, Feb. 4. the Rams will welcome the Bison of Nichols to Louis E. Porrazzo Memorial Skating Rink for a 4:50 p.m. puck drop.
