Atkinson paced Merrimack’s attack at Iona on Saturday to garner NEC Rookie of the Week honors for the second time in as many weeks. The Franklin, MA put together her first career multi-goal game after she found the back of the net four times. Atkinson put six of her seven shots on goal and converted on 2-of-3 free-position attempts in the defeat to the Gaels. With five goals and a team-best three assists, Atkinson ranks second amongst fellow Warriors in scoring with eight points.
