ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

After a record setting regular season, Keyra Buziak continued to light the lamp in the playoffs.
 
The third year forward, hot off leading the league in scoring, kept producing for the top-seeded Lakeland Rustlers, including in the ACAC Finals. Facing three straight elimination games, Buziak scored two goals in games 3 and 4, including the winner in each, helping to force a game 5. There, Lakeland completed the comeback with a 1-0 overtime victory to win their second straight ACAC Gold.
 
She was awarded Finals MVP for her performance, adding to a pile of accolades, including Women's Hockey Player of the Year. The top scorer in the ACAC, Buziak set a record for most goals in a season (28) and tied the record for points (43). That excellence stems from consistent play throughout the season.
