Mavericks freshman forward Mike Louwerse was named WCHA rookie of the week this week. Here is the release:
Mike Louwerse, a freshman right winger who had a key point each night while helping his 10th-ranked Minnesota State University Mavericks to a two-game conference road sweep at Michigan Tech last weekend, is the Red Baron® WCHA Rookie of the Week for November 25-December 1.
A 5-8, 160-pound freshman from Champlin Park, Minn., Louwerse helped propel MSU back from a 1-0 third period deficit last Friday (Nov. 21) by scoring his team’s first goal at 5:55 of the third enroute to a 3-2 overtime victory over the host Huskies. Then last Saturday (Nov. 22), as Minnesota State completed the sweep with a 4-2 triumph, Louwerse assisted on teammate Nick Canzannello’s eventual game-winner at 16:10 of the second period. In addition to his two points, Louwerse had three shots on goal and earned a +1 plus/minus rating in the two games.
On the season, Louwerse is tied for the lead in goal scoring among the nation’s rookies with seven and ranks tied for second in the nation in rookie scoring, averaging 1.00 points per game (7g, 4a) over his first 11 contests.
Also nominated this week were: Joe Colborne, F, DU; Brett Olson, F, MTU; Jordan Schroeder, F, UM; and Brad Eidsness, G, UND.
Alaska-Anchorage forward Tommy Grant and Minnesota-Duluth goalie Alex Stalock were the offensive and defensive POWs, respectively. MSU nominated forward Rylan Galiardi and defenseman Kurt Davis for those awards.
