The ice hockey club has struggled this season with a 6-11 record, but it has won three of its last five games thanks to junior goalie Hayden Richards.
Richards gave up five goals in two periods against Montclair State University Oct. 11.
He started two games later against Drexel Oct. 18 and rejected 49 of the Dragons blasts in a shootout win. Since his struggles against Montclair State, the junior has gone 3-2 and leads the team, saving 87.2 percent of the shots that have come his way through seven games.
“He played well for us in that Drexel game and really gave us a fighting chance to win,” coach Roman Bussetti said “I think the team started playing real good in front of him and had confidence in him knowing he is going to go out there and battle.
