Sackrison named rookie of the week

Minnesota State freshman center Andrew Sackrison, who produced four scoring points in the Mavericks' series sweep over visiting Denver last weekend, has been named WCHA rookie of the week.

The 6-1, 195-pound forward from St. Louis Park had a goal and two assists for his first collegiate three-point game and was named the game's first star in Friday's 5-1 win. In Saturday's 3-2 victory, Sackrison scored the game's first goal on a power play. He was also plus-3 for the weekend.

A St. Louis Blues draft pick, Sackrison has three goals, seven assists and 10 points in his last 10 games and has four goals and 11 assists to lead all MSU freshmen with 15 points.

Sackrison wasn't the only MSU hockey player honored this week. Maverick women's goaltender Britni Kehler was named WCHA defensive player of the week after stopping 52 of 54 shots in a sweep of St. Cloud State. The wins snapped Minnesota State's seven-game losing streak
