Zubkus Nabs Division II Rookie of the Week


NORTH ANDOVER, MA – For her role in the program’s first trip to the Northeast-10 Conference semifinal, freshman Katie Zubkus (Dover, NH) of the Merrimack field hockey team was named Division II Rookie of the Week by womensfieldhockey.com.

Helping enforce the midfield for the Warriors, Zubkus assisted on the eventual game-winner in a quarterfinal win over Adelphi University, 2-1. The win marked a three-game season sweep of the Panthers and two within a one week span at Warrior Field.

On the year, Zubkus energized a Merrimack offense that ranked second in the conference in scoring (3.03 goals per game). With nine points in her first year in North Andover, she scored three goals and three assists as part of a highly talented freshman class.
