BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The CCHA has recognized four student-athletes as its Players of the Week for the games of Oct. 8-9. Bowling Green's Gabriel Chicoine (Defenseman) and Austen Swankler (Rookie) took home honors for the Falcons, who finished the weekend with a 1-0-1 record against RPI. This is the first recognition of the 2021-22 season for both players.
CCHA Defenseman of the Week: Gabriel Chicoine, Sr., Bowling Green
Bowling Green senior defenseman Gabriel Chicoine tallied three assists in the Falcons' two games against RPI, which was tied for second among CCHA defensemen. Chicoine assisted on both of the Falcons' goals in the season opener, including the game-tying score in the third period. The senior also assisted on BGSU's first goal on Saturday, helping the Falcons to a 3-2 overtime victory over RPI. Chicoine's +/- of plus-3 is the highest on BGSU and his point total of 3 is tied for the team lead.
