BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University freshman goalkeeper Allison Chappell has been selected as the Little East Conference Field Hockey Rookie of the Week.

Chappell had an impressive collegiate debut last week as she backstopped the Bears to a season opening 1-0 double-overtime victory over WPI.  The Raynham, Massachusetts product made 12 saves in the win over the Engineers including four stops in overtime.

The BSU field hockey team is off to a 2-0 start. The Bears return to action on Wednesday afternoon when they travel to Wellesley College for a 4:30 game with the Blue.
