Men's Hockey Athlete of the Week


Lopes-MH
Matt Lopes, Gustavus


Gustavus Adolphus College senior goaltender Matt Lopes (East Falmouth, Mass./Bishop Stang) made 17 saves in the Gusties' 5-2 win over Hamline in the MIAC Playoff Championship game last Wednesday. With the score tied 2-2 after the first period, Lopes made pivotal stops in the second and third periods to give Gustavus an opportunity to take the lead. Eight of his 17 saves came in the third period as the Pipers tried to get back into the game. Lopes improved his season record to 10-4-0 and lowered his goals-against average to 2.30. The win gave the Gusties, who are 17-10-0, an automatic bid into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1993.
