NORTHFIELD, Vt. – Norwich first-year forward Frank D'Ancona (Fort Myers, Fla.) was named the Little East Conference (LEC) Rookie of the Week for the week ending Jan. 4, marking the second time this season he has earned the honor.

D'Ancona earned All-Tournament Team recognition after a standout performance at the 25th Annual Northfield Savings Bank Holiday Tournament. The rookie recorded a two-goal effort in Norwich's Jan. 3 victory over Misericordia, scoring the Cadets' first shorthanded goal of the season before netting the game-winning goal midway through the second period. He also added an assist in the opening-round contest against Nazareth on Jan. 2.

The rookie previously earned LEC Rookie of the Week honors on Dec. 1 following a Tournament MVP performance at the LayerEight Shootout.

D'Ancona and the Cadets return to action on Jan. 6 against Plattsburgh State before resuming LEC play on Jan. 10 versus Vermont State Castleton.
