Minnesota State goaltender Cole Huggins was named the WCHA's rookie of the week for his performance in last weekend's series against Bowling Green.
Huggins stopped 33 shots for the shutout in the Mavericks' 1-0 overtime victory over Bowling Green on Saturday at the Verizon Wireless Center. On Friday, he stopped all nine shots he faced in relief of starter Stephon Williams in the Mavericks' 4-3 loss.
In four appearances this season, including starts the last two Saturdays, Huggins has a .964 save percentage and a 1.11 goal-against average.
After Saturday's game, MSU captain Johnny McInnis said the Mavericks have a lot of faith in both Huggins and Williams right now.
"It's going to be a healthy relationship (between Huggins and Williams," he said. "It's a good problem to have."
