After netting a game-tying goal and a game-winning goal to become the women's ice hockey team's all-time leading goal scorer, senior Melissa Anderson has been named the GoTerriers.com Student-Athlete of the Week.

Anderson netted the game-tying goal as the Terriers rallied from a 4-0 deficit to force overtime in the Beanpot semifinals against Northeastern on Tuesday. She then tallied the game-winning goal to break a 2-2 tie and scored a shorthanded empty-net goal in a 5-2 win at New Hampshire on Saturday.

Anderson's three-goal week gave her 51 career goals, passing Gina Kearns (50) for the Terriers' program record. Anderson is also BU's career leader in assists (72) and points (123). This season, she leads the team with 15 goals and 30 points.
