INCH Player of the Week

|
BEAU ERICKSON |
|
His Statistics: 2 GP, 1-0-1, 70 saves, 1 GA His Impact: UConn was muddling along through the first half of the season, but since returning to Atlantic Hockey play in mid-January, the Huskies have lost just once in six games against conference foes. The most recent test came against first-place RIT, and goalie Beau Erickson answered the call against the top team in Atlantic Hockey. He started the weekend set in Storrs by making 40 saves in a 3-0 shutout win. He followed that up with a 30-save performance in a 1-1 tie against the Tigers on Saturday. The Huskies are now in a three-way tie for sixth place in Atlantic Hockey, and just two points behind fifth-place Mercyhurst for the final home-ice spot in the league playoffs. His Runners-Up: Jeff Lerg (Michigan State), Matt Fornataro (New Hampshire), Alex Stalock (Minnesota Duluth), Matt Thomey (Yale), Matt Pope (Bemidji State) Previous Winners Jason Towsley Richard Bachman Matt Fornataro Ryan Jones Kyle Richter Brian Ewing Kevin Porter Nathan Gerbe Rhett Rakhshani Brian Stewart Billy Sauer Michael Kennedy Matt Climie Mike Devine |
