University of Wisconsin-Superior forward Gina Baranzelli was named the NCHA women's hockey player of the week after leading her team to a sweep of previously undefeated UW-Stevens Point.
Baranzelli scored three goals in the Yellowjackets' sweep over the visiting Pointers, who began the weekend at 17-0-2.
Baranzelli scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-1 win. Then on Saturday, she started off the scoring with a power-play goal. In overtime, Baranzelli fought off a Pointer for a rebound and secured the 2-1 win for the 'Jackets three minutes into the overtime period.
UWS is at UW-Eau Claire Friday and Saturday.
