Original Release
EDINA, Minn. – Junior Mitch McLain of the Bowling Green hockey team was named Offensive Player of the Week by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association, announced Monday afternoon.
The Baxter, Minn. native continued his hot streak this past weekend by marking his ninth career, and third multi-point night of the season by tallying a pair of assists in the 3-0 shutout of Alaska Anchorage Saturday night. McLain assisted in Tyler Spezia's game-winning goal just 3:58 into the game, then again on Casey Linkenheld's first career goal to make the score 3-0 midway through the second.
On Friday night, McLain also notched the game-winning goal for the Falcons in the second overtime of 3-on-3 play to lift Bowling Green to a 4-3 win over the Seawolves. The goal was able to earn the Falcons an extra point in conference standings.
On the season, McLain now tallies 17 points through 15 games played by accumulating seven goals and 10 assists, while the Player of the Week award is the third of his career.
Up next, the Bowling Green hockey program will hit the road as they travel to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich. to face Lake Superior State in WCHA play Friday and Saturday nights.
