MADISON, Wis. - Two Yellowjacket hockey players were slated to the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference's (WIAC) Kwik Trip Athletes of the Week list, the league announced Tuesday.

A pair of Superior forwards swept the conference's hockey plaudits, coming in senior Jenna Hoops (Woodbury, Minn./Visitation School) and freshman Logan Nickerson (East Haddam, Conn./West Haven).

Hoops helped UW-Superior to a pair of wins during the week and took over the team scoring lead. In the opening game of the Marian University (Wis.) Fondy Pot Invitational on Jan. 3, Hoops had nine shots on goal, scoring twice and adding an assist in a 6-2 Yellowjacket win. In a non-conference game against UW-Stevens Point on Jan. 4, she added two more goals in a 5-0 shutout, helping UW-Superior to the Fondy Pot tournament championship. For the week, Hoops scored 4-1-5 with 13 shots on goal, while going plus-3. She leads the team with nine goals and 15 points.

Nickerson scored a goal in each game during the week as the Yellowjackets went to Boston, Mass., and came home the champions of the 59th Annual Codfish Bowl. On Jan. 3, he scored the game-winning goal midway through the second period in a 2-0 win over Fitchburg State University (Mass.). Nickerson added another goal Jan. 4, scoring shorthanded in a 5-2 win over UMass-Boston in the tournament championship game. In addition to scoring 2-0-2, Nickerson had six shots on goal and one blocked shot and for his efforts was named Codfish Bowl Most Valuable Player.

Both Yellowjacket squads take on Concordia College in their next contests. The Yellowjacket women hit the road next Tuesday, with an opening faceoff set for 5 p.m. inside the Moorhead Sports Center, while the Yellowjacket men host the Cobbers Friday at 7:05 p.m. at Wessman Arena.
