Hookenson, Smith earn WCHA honors

Two Mavericks were cited by the WCHA for their play in a 4-4 overtime tie and 2-1 win against North Dakota over the weekend.

Senior Edwin Hookenson was named defenseman of the week, and freshman forward Nathan Smith was named rookie of the week.

Hookenson scored a goal in each game, including his first career game-winner on Saturday. Smith had a four-point game in his college debut on Friday, scoring a goal and assisting on three others. He also won 20 of 29 face-offs in the series.

The No. 2 Mavericks (3-0-1) will open WCHA play on Friday at Alabama Huntsville.
