Sophomore notches two wins to earn second weekly honor of the season, third of career
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio – The Central Collegiate Hockey Association has recognized four student-athletes as its Players of the Week for the previous week of competition. Bowling Green's Christian Stoever was named CCHA Goaltender of the Week after making 60 saves in a series sweep of RPI. He earned his first career assist and made a stop on a penalty shot in Friday's win, securing BGSU's 10th win of the season. This is Stoever's third career weekly honor and second of this season. This is his fourth career award from the conference, with his most recent being Goaltender of the Month in November.

Christian Stoever held RPI to three goals over two games, earning a pair of wins as BGSU closed 2022 with a home sweep. On Thursday, he stopped 31-of-32 shots, including 12 in the opening frame. The following night, he made 29 saves, including a stop on a penalty shot. He also earned his first career assist, tallying the secondary on Nathan Burke's goal.
