Team And Player Of The Week
By Fetch
Team of the Week – Denver
The Denver Pioneers came into the weekend ranked 3rd in the USCHO poll, and had a tough weekend series in Grand Forks to face a fellow top 10 team. The Sioux never got into Friday’s game however as Denver scored twice in the first 5 minutes and shutout the Sioux to win 2-0.
Saturday night’s game saw some adversity for the Pioneers. The Sioux jumped out to a 2-0 lead but Denver scored 3 goals in 7 minutes in the 2nd period to earn the sweep.
Player of the week – Marc Cheverie, G, Denver
It’s only logical that the most influential player for our best team of the week gets the award. Cheverie allowed just two goals, both on Saturday, while making 55 saves for our new #1 team in the country. It was his 6th shutout of the season.
Cheverie now ranks 5th nationally in GAA (2.02) and 2nd in save percentage (.932).
