GRAND FORKS, N.D. – For the second time this season, University of North Dakota freshman forward Brock Boeser has been named National Collegiate Hockey Conference (NCHC) Rookie of the Week.

Boeser (pronounced BESS-ur) scored twice, added three assists, and was a plus-5 in North Dakota's NCHC sweep of No. 17 Miami last weekend in Grand Forks. The Burnsville, Minn., native had a goal and three assists in Friday's 6-2 win for the first 4-point game of his collegiate career. Boeser opened the scoring with his team-leading seventh goal of the season the following night and led all players with five shots on goal in a 4-3 overtime win.

A first-round draft pick (23rd overall) of the Vancouver Canucks in 2015, Boeser is tied for the NCHC rookie lead with seven goals and ranks second in the rookie scoring race with 12 points. He also leads all NCHC freshmen in plus/minus (plus-13) and shots on goal (42).

Boeser and fourth-ranked UND continue NCHC play next weekend at seventh-ranked St. Cloud State.

St. Cloud State forward Joey Benik was named NCHC Offensive Player of the Week, SCSU's Ethan Prow was named NCHC Defenseman of the Week and Denver's Evan Cowley was named NCHC Goaltender of the Week.
