Beecher had four goals and two assists in January helping the Catamounts solidify their top-15 ranking in the country and second place position in Hockey East. Beecher
scored the game-winning goal on January 6 against the Friars. UVM won three straight games against the Friars and Beecher scored in all three contests.
 
"What a great month for Lara and it's a tremendous credit to her to receive this honor," said Head Coach Jim Plumer. "She scored some key goals for us against Providence and she has developed into a threat every time she's on the ice.  She has a bright future with us and we are looking forward to her being a key player down the stretch of this regular season and into the playoffs."
