RECENT ACTION: UAH (4-7-1, 4-3-1 WCHA) moved into third place in the WCHA standings with 13 league points so far in 2016-17, following the squad's second road series sweep of the season at Alaska Anchorage by scores of 5-2 and 3-2 (OT) this past weekend. This is the Chargers best record through eight WCHA contests in program history.
TREK FOR TWO: The Chargers bolstered their standing within the league with their second series sweep of the season on the road, which is the first time in program history UAH has a pair of road sweeps since the 2004-05 season. This past weekend, UAH also recorded its first-ever series sweep at UAA after recording the program's first win at Anchorage in the 2015-16 season.
POTENT SCORING: UAH recorded a season-high eight goals in the series sweep of Alaska Anchorage, with the previous best of seven goals in a series came in the season-opening wins at Ferris State. Three Chargers had three-point weekends in
Kurt Gosselin (2g-1a) and
Hans Gorowsky (2g-1a), and
Max McHugh (0g-3a) to lead the Blue & White against the Seawolves.
SCORING LEADERS: There's now a two-way tie atop the UAH offense – along with being tied for 10th in the WCHA – at nine points between linesmates
Josh Kestner (3g-6a) and McHugh (5g-4a), with Kestner owning the team-high in assists and McHugh leading the team in goals scored. The duo has combined for 18 of the Chargers 66 points on offense with eight goals and 10 assists.
RISING FRESHMAN: Freshman
Jordan Larson continues to impress early into his collegiate career, adding two assists during the series sweep at UAA to give him a total of seven points from two goals and five assists in 2016-17. Larson ranks third overall on the UAH roster in points, while rating fourth amongst WCHA rookies.
ON THE BLOCK: The Chargers remain atop the national leaderboard with 177 blocks through 12 games this season, as
Cam Knight continues to lead the NCAA with 29 blocks followed by senior
Brandon Carlson in second nationally with 27 blocks.
NANOOKS PROFILE: Alaska Fairbanks begins the weekend with a 3-7-0 overall record and a 2-4-0 mark in WCHA contests, following a pair of losses at home to No. 15 Bemidji State this past weekend by scores of 6-2 and 3-1. The Nanooks offense is led by a pair of players with seven points in Marcus Basara (3g-4a) and Brandon Morley (0g-7a), while Jesse Jenks and Davis Jones have combined for a 3.67 goals against average and a .873 save percentage through 10 games.
