Bub's Player of the Week: Heidi Alexander
By Sports Staff
This Bubsworthy space has been Heidi's before. But that's because once she's gone, she'll be Lord Jeff lore. Since her rookie year, she's been minding the net; and when she's between the pipes, a great night is a sure bet. It's funny-in a way, she reminds me of Rieser; he graduated last year, but was a real Jeff crowd-pleaser. Heidi's like that, she'll get it done; and with this theme begins a week of women's hockey fun. Let's start with Trinity, and an Amherst win; Heidi had 32 saves, she put that one in the bin. The next day was tougher, when Wesleyan came; but Heidi was too, and the Jeffs tied the game. Heidi grabbed the USCHO Defensive Player of the Week; and after that, the Jeffs sent UMass up the creek. Against the Minutemen, Amherst did it once more; they won this game, and the score? 10-4. That's some powerful offense, and a tight defense, too. And on Sunday, the Jeffs took the N.E.C. game in an Orr Rink coup. Tonight, the Jeffs are over at Holy Cross; and on Saturday, they'll show the Continentals whose boss. So head on down to Bub's, Heidi, they know you by now. And when you stand up to leave, go ahead, take a bow.
