MARLBOROUGH, Mass.— For the fourth time this spring, Babson College graduate student
Joey Allen (Philadelphia, Pa./Conestoga) was recognized by the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) when he was named NEWMAC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday.
Allen produced two goals and three assists for five points as No. 5/9 Babson fought off a challenge to defeat MIT, 12-8, in Saturday's regular season finale. He scored to open the contest and then contributed a goal and two assists to spark a six-goal run that spanned parts of the third and fourth quarters as the Beavers turned a one-goal deficit into a 12-7 lead.
A starter in 14 of his 15 games this season, Allen leads the Beavers in scoring with 55 points on 34 goals and 21 assists. He ranks fourth in the NEWMAC in both goals and points and 10th in assists. He also leads the NEWMAC and ranks fifth in Division III with 10 man-up goals.
The Beavers (14-2, 7-0 NEWMAC) earned the NEWMAC regular season title and a first-round bye in this week's conference tournament and will host a semifinal contest against either Salve Regina or Coast Guard on Thursday at 7 p.m. at MacDowell Field.
