All-CCHA
Sophomore Ryan Carpenter and senior Bobby Shea (All-CCHA Second Team) are the first Falcons to be named all conference since 2007-08, when Derek Whitmore was named All-CCHA Second Team. It is also the first time BG has had multiple selections since 1998-99, when Michael Jones (2nd), Dan Price (2nd) and Adam Edinger (1st) made the cut.
Hammy's Shutouts
Andrew Hammond stopped all 23 shots he faced Sunday night, marking his third shutout of the season and seventh of his career. Hammond's shut out win ties him with Tyler Masters (99-03) as Bowling Green's all-time leader in career shutouts. Hammond's three shutouts this season also tie Master's season record (3). Hammond's shutout also marked the first postseason shutout for the Falcons since 2011, when Hammond shut out Northern Michigan, 2-0, on March 5 in the first round of the CCHA Playoffs.
Welcome Back Carpenter
Sophomore Ryan Carpenter picked up three points in the Falcons' 6-3 victory on Saturday, snapping his three-game point drought. Carpenter's three-point night marked a season high, tying his career-best set twice last season. Carpenter's two goals also tied a career high, set last season in a 3-2 win over Notre Dame on Feb. 4, 2012. Carpenter recorded two points in the Falcons' 7-0 win Sunday night, giving him five points in the three-game series to lead all Falcons.
A Big Night For Danny
Sophomore Dan DeSalvo got back on the score sheet Sunday night, scoring two goals and adding an assist in the Falcons' 7-0 win. DeSalvo's three-point night ties a season high, set back in the Falcons' 4-3 loss to Ferris State on Nov. 16.
