DUDLEY, Mass. – Nichols College men’s hockey players Jacob Rinn (Warwick, R.I.) and Brett Englebright (Pekin, Ill.) have been named the ECAC Northeast Goalie and Rookie of the Week, for play ending Sunday, February 1, 2009. The tandem helped the Bison remain perfect in conference play with a 3-2 win over then-number 15 Curry, and to Nichols’ first-ever national ranking in the USCHO.com Division III Poll, where the Bison are currently 14th.
Rinn, a first-year goaltender, made 25 saves against the Colonels, improving to 4-0-0 in four collegiate starts with a 2.00 goals against average and a .925 save percentage. He made nine third-period saves to keep Curry off the board in the final frame, a feat not achieved by any other league netminder against the Colonels since the opening game of the season.
Englebright scored the game-winning goal against Curry, netting his fourth power-play tally of the season with 21.4 seconds left in regulation to snap the Colonels’ seven-game unbeaten streak. The forward stands with seven points on four goals – all power-play – and three assists in 20 games.
Nichols (18-2-0, 12-0-0) continues ECAC Northeast play with an 8:30 p.m. home game against Framingham State Saturday at June Rockwell Levy Rink. The Bison then play two of their final four regular season games at home, ending with a 3:30 p.m. game against Western New England College on Saturday, February 22.
