LOWELL, Mass. - Senior forward Ryan McGrath (O'Fallon, Mo.) of the UMass Lowell Hockey team was named "River Hawk of the Week" on Tuesday afternoon.

McGrath notched two game-winning goals in the weekend sweep of Colorado College, which include the game-clinching score with 2:46 left in regulation in Friday night's 2-1 victory at the Tsongas Center. He finished the weekend with five shots on goal and a 1 plus/minus rating for the River Hawks.

The "River Hawk of the Week" is chosen each week in voting by the UMass Lowell Athletic Communications staff. It honors the top athlete, male or female, based on performance during the previous week of competition.

UMass Lowell returns to action on Friday, October 23rd at Merrimack College. Game time is 7 p.m. at Lawler Arena in North Andover, Mass.
