BEMIDJI, Minn. – After a five-point weekend, Bemidji State University Women's Hockey freshman forward Morgan Smith has been named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association Rookie of the Week for January 6. Smith earns the award for the second consecutive week and the second of her career.
 
Smith earned back-to-back Rookie of the Week honors after recording a team-high performance at the East/West Showcase at Ridder Arena over the weekend. Smith totaled a team-best five points from two goals and three assists. Against No. 12 Penn State, Smith recorded her second three-point game of the season with a goal and two assists. On Saturday in the 5-4 win against Brown, Smith helped the Beavers to their largest comeback in program history while tallying her second-straight multi-point game off a goal and an assist. 
 
Smith continued her hot streak and now has eight points (5g-3a) over the last four games and was named the WCHA Rookie of the Month for December.
 
She was joined by Minnesota State's Whitney Tuttle (Forward), Minnesota's Sydney Morrow (Defender) and Wisconsin's Ava McNaughton (Goaltender) as the league's weekly award winners.
