The Hockey Commissioners Association announced Thursday its three women’s college hockey players of the month for November.
Minnesota senior forward Taylor Heise is the player of the month, while Long Island freshman goaltender Tindra Holm is the rookie of the month and Northeastern graduate student Aerin Frankel and Mercyhurst junior goalie Jenna Silvonen are the co-goaltenders of the month.
Heise went for eight goals and 16 points (2.67 points per game) in November’s six games, and earned a plus-15 rating on the ice. She had five multi-point games and two multi-goal games on the way to extending a 13-game point streak. Heise scored her second career hat trick on Nov. 12 against RIT. After adding two short-handed goals in November, Heise leads the nation in short-handed goals with three. She took zero penalties and also led all Minnesota forwards in ice time.
Holm played in five games in November, logging 143 saves and a .960 save percentage alongside a 1.18 GAA. Helped LIU to a 4-1 record with the one loss coming to nationally-ranked Yale in overtime, making 54 saves in that game. Overall, Holm has a 1.68 GAA on the season, alongside a .947 save percentage
Frankel repeats as co-goalie of the month with even better numbers than in October. She led the Huskies to a 6-0-1 record and allowed a stingy 0.85 goals per game with a save percentage of .964. Two of her wins were shutouts.
Silvonen went 3-0-1 for Mercyhurst, with an impressive .940 save percentage and a 1.47 GAA.
