Boee, Hansen, Lawless, And Wright Named CU Athletes Of The Week
March 01, 2021 | General
Boee continued his stellar season with three wins in four races over the week, including two individual regional championships. He is the first Buff skier since Mads Stroem in 2016 to win both regional races, and he is the 19th skier in program history to accomplish the feat. The three wins were his sixth, seventh, and eighth wins of the season. The eight wins are tied for the most in CU history for a men's Nordic skier and his four wins in both classic and freestyle also matched the school record.
Boee has now won the Athelte of the Week award three times this season.

Hansen returned to her old stomping grounds at Washington and turned in two stellar performances at goalkeeper. The UW transfer started the weekend off with a career-high 11 save performance on Friday in a 0-0 draw. The Huskies tested their former teammate with eight shots on goal in the first 70 minutes of play, all saved by Hansen. The redshirt sophomore also added nine saves in a 2-1 loss on Sunday. In all, she stopped 20 of 21 shots in the two matches last week.
Hansen also won the Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Week for the second consecutive week.

Lawless recorded a hat-trick on Sunday, with all of her goals coming in the second half, in a 14-7 upset win over No. 14 Denver. The senior also added two assists, both to Charlie Rudy, in the first win over a ranked opponent for the Buffs since May 2019 win they beat No.18 Dartmouth. Lawless has now scored goals in five different games in her career, and in all five games she scored exactly three times.
