Male Athlete of the Week

In the first round of the WCHA playoffs against Alaska, Tim Theocharidis, a sophomore from Scarborough, Ontario, tallied a three-point performance on Friday, registering a point on three of the Falcons' four goals in the 4-2 win. Theocharidis' day began with an assist on Alex Barber's goal before he scored a goal of his own, coming on the power play and also scored as the game-winner for the Falcons. Theocharidis then capped his day by assisting on another score. The multiple assist game was his first of the season and second of his career while the three points was his first time tallying at least three points in a single game while in the Orange and Brown.
