DETROIT, Mich. – Sophomore Bailey Bram and junior captain Melissa Lacroix of the top-ranked Mercyhurst College women's hockey were recognized on Monday as College Hockey America's top performers from this past week. Bram was named CHA Player of the Week, while Lacroix was tabbed CHA Defensive Player of the Week.

Behind a combined a six-goal effort from the duo, Mercyhurst defeated CHA foe Robert Morris in three games last week by the scores of 4-1, 4-0 and 9-2 to move to 23-2-3 on the season and 10-1-1 in league play.

Bram returned to the active roster last Friday and contributed a goal and an assist.  In Saturday's contest, she scored two special teams markers (power play and short-handed empty net).  She finished the weekend set with five shots on goal and a +3 plus/minus rating.

Lacroix aided the Lakers to three victories by tallying three lamp-lighters at the offensive end and helping kill all 19 Robert Morris power-play chances at the defensive end.  She scored the first goal of the game twice and was either even or plus (plus/minus rating) in all three contests.

Mercyhurst returns to action in two weeks with a two-game series against Wayne State on Friday, Feb. 19 and Saturday, Feb. 20 at the Mercyhurst Ice Center.
