PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
Tyler Bogart • UMass

Sophomore Tyler Bogart recorded a nine-point week spearheading the offense in close wins over UMass Lowell (10-8) and Hartford (12-10). He totaled seven goals and two assists as well as a pair of groundballs. Bogart put in five points in the three-goal comeback win over UMass Lowell via four goals and an assist, which tied his career high for goals and reset his best for points in one outing. Bogart's final three points against the River Hawks turned an 8-7 deficit into the 10-8 final margin as he scored the team's eighth and 10th goals and assisted Dan Muller on the ninth. At Hartford, Bogart added a four-point outing on three goals and an assist. He had three of his four points in the pivotal second half, during which the Minutemen erased a three-goal deficit. He brought UMass within 7-6 in the third quarter with his second goal of the day and dished an assist on the game-tying eighth goal. He immediately followed with his third goal to make it 9-8, a lead the Minutemen did not relinquish.
