Male Athlete of the Week
Will Cullen, a junior from Pelham Manor, N.Y., paced the Falcons in points over the weekend, totaling five in the sweep over Northern Michigan.

As for the second game, he added another assist to his line for a three-point outing. The five-point weekend gives Cullen 16 points on the season, tying his career-high for a single season while also being the most points by a defenseman in the nation so far this year.
