Carroll Earns MLX Skates Goaltender of the Week Honors

Good news keeps rolling in for the Harvard men’s hockey team.

For his big role in last week’s wins over Brown, Clarkson, and St. Lawrence, senior goaltender Ryan Carroll earned the title of “MLX Skates Goaltender of the Week,” given weekly to the top netminder in the ECAC. Carroll’s award comes just a week after sophomore forward Danny Biega took home the prize for ECAC Player of the Week.

In each of last week’s contests, the senior came up big, doing just enough to lift the Crimson to victory.

Carroll’s best performance of the week might have been his first. In the final period against Brown, as Harvard held onto a 2-0 lead, the Bears fired a flurry of shots, tallying 20 in the period as compared to Harvard’s one. But Carroll held strong, only letting one shot find the back of the net en route to a 2-1 win.

Over the weekend, the senior continued his high level of play, allowing just four goals on 60 shots to beat Clarkson and St. Lawrence.

In the three games, Carroll saved a whopping 95 percent of shots that came his way.

He and the rest of the Crimson hockey team will be in action again this weekend, as the squad heads to Potsdam in upstate New York to face off against Clarkson in the first round of the ECAC playoffs.
