December 21, 2020 | Ice Hockey
BLOOMINGTON, Minn. - The Western Collegiate Hockey Association announced weekly awards Monday afternoon (Dec. 21). For the third consecutive week, the Falcons saw a player take home the WCHA Forward of the Week this time being Connor Ford. Additionally, Zack Rose was named the WCHA Goaltender of the Week. For both players it's the first time they've been named to their respective awards during their careers. Ford had previously been named WCHA Rookie of the Week during his freshman campaign in 2017-18.Â

Over the weekend Ford amassed four points over two games en route to the Falcons sweeping No. 11 Quinnipiac. In Friday's game (Dec. 18) Ford logged an assist, coming on a short-handed empty-net goal by Evan Dougherty, before having a three-point game on Saturday night (Dec. 19). In Saturday's contest, Ford was able to net the game-winning goal on the power play while also assisting on a Gavin Gould power play goal and an empty-net score by Tim Theocharidis. With the four points over the weekend, Ford's career point total is now at 96 needing just four more points to reach 100 career points.
Also being recognized this week is sophomore goaltender Zack Rose. Rose was in net for the Falcons during Friday's game and picked up the win to advance to 3-1-0 on the season. Rose tallied 23 saves while allowing just one goal for a .958 save percentage. Of Rose's 23 saves, 16 came during the third period in which he was able to secure the win for Bowling Green to begin the weekend series.Â
The Falcons next game will be on Tuesday, Dec. 29 against Robert Morris and will mark the final game of the 2020 calendar before starting conference play on Jan. 2. The matchup against RMU is set for a 3:07 p.m. puck drop and will be available to stream on FloHockey. The two teams previously met on Dec. 1, a game that the Falcons won by a final of 6-3.
