Leah Lum is enjoying another outstanding season with the University of Connecticut women’s hockey team.
The junior forward was recently named Warrior Hockey East Player of the Week after leading the UConn Huskies to a weekend split against the Vermont Catamounts.
Lum notched her team’s first goal in a 4-2 loss to the Catamounts and followed that up with a two-goal showing 24 hours later, lifting the Huskies to a 2-1 victory, which snapped a five-game loss streak.
Lum put UConn up 1-0 after the first period and 2-0 after two. Her second goal was a team-leading sixth of the season on the power play.
She was at it again this past weekend, notching a goal and assist in a 4-4 tie against No. 6 ranked Boston College and chipping in with a helper in a 2-1 victory over Providence.
The McRoberts Secondary graduate leads the team with 18 goals and 28 points in 29 games. She has contributed at least one point in UConn’s last six games and has already surpassed her entire point total (23) from a year ago.
Lum came through the Richmond Ravens Female Ice Hockey Association, captaining the Midget “A” team in her final season. She also played for the Pacific Steelers and twice suited up for the U18 provincial team.
The Huskies enter this week’s play 8-10-2 in conference play and 13-13-4 overall.
