Item Athlete of the Week – Evan Rocha

You know what I’ve been thinking? Lynnfield hockey’s Evan Rocha is pretty good at what he does. First things first, the Pioneers went 2-0 this past week as the only undefeated boys team in the state. A big reason for that: Rocha. Against Hamilton-Wenham on Wednesday, a game that favored Lynnfield 3-0, the lefty scored two goals to give the Pioneers win number 12. Fast forward a few days later against North Reading, and Rocha didn’t stop there as Lynnfield doubled up the opposition to win 6-3. The forward scored another goal and dished out two assists as Lynnfield upped its record to 13-0-1 (53 goals for, 23 against). The Pioneers return to action Wednesday against Pentucket as Rocha looks to continue his hot streak. Evan, good week.
