Bowling Green, Ohio - Bowling Green senior Jordan Sigalet was named Goalie of the Week and junior Don Morrison was named Defenseman of the Week by the Central Collegiate Hockey Association today. The Falcons took three of four points from visiting Miami this past weekend to pull themselves into a tie for fourth place in the CCHA.
It is the fourth time in Sigalet's career that he has been named Goalie/Defensive Player of the Week while it marks Morrison's first ever POW honor. BGSU picked up its seventh victory before the month of December for the first time since 1996 when the Falcons were 7-7-1 on Nov. 30. This year's team is now 7-3-2. In the past five years, BGSU hasn't recorded win No. 7 until the middle of January. (2003-04-Jan. 23; 2002-03-Jan. 31; 2001-02-Jan. 25; 2000-01-Jan. 19; 1999-2000-Jan. 14).
Sigalet allowed just one even-strength goal in 125 minutes of work versus Miami, helping the Falcons take three points from the RedHawks. He also helped his own cause by assisting on the game-tying goal on Nov. 26, his third career assist. Sigalet stopped 50-of-53 shots faced (.943 pct.) and led a penalty kill that stopped 10-of-12 MU power plays in the two games. Sigalet has held BGSU opponents to two goals or less in six games this season and for the second time this year held an opponent scoreless in overtime. His .921 save pct. in tops in the CCHA among goalies with over 500 minutes between the posts (689:14 min.).
