Earning one of two Peoples Natural Gas RMU Female Student-Athlete of the Week nods for Feb. 27, 2019, is sophomore Emilie Harley of the ice hockey squad. In earning her first weekly honor, Harley was instrumental in helping the Colonials earn a split with Mercyhurst last weekend at the RMU Island Sports Center. In a 4-1 win in the second game of the series, Harley, a native of Syracuse, N.Y., had a hand in all four goals. She registered the first hat trick of her career against the Lakers and assisted on the other marker. Tied, 1-1, after Mercyhurst found the back of the net at the 5:29 mark of the second period, Harley broke the tie a little over a minute later with her third goal of the campaign. She added two more goals in the third period to help seal the victory. It was an offensive outburst for Harley, who entered the contest with two goals and four assists to her credit through the first 31 games of the 2018-19 season.
