Senior Jordan Webb (Nepean, ONT) was named the ECACHL Player of the Week,
making it the second straight week a Union College men's hockey player has
earned the award.
Webb led Union to a two-game sweep over RPI in a
home and home series over the weekend with three goals and an assist. It was the first time in school history the
Dutchmen swept the Engineers. In the
opener, Union skated to an exciting 5-4 win at
Houston Field House. The next night fans
were treated to another thriller as the Dutchmen came away with a 3-2 victory
at Messa Rink.
Webb also made history in front of the home crowd as he moved up to
second on Union's Division I all-time scoring
list.
In the
first game Webb scored a goal and had one assist. The goal came at 12:47 of the first period to break a 1-1
tie. He then assisted on Union's third goal of the game to help break a 3-3 tie in the
second period. Webb followed that up with a pair of power play goals in
the series finale. He broke open a scoreless game with back-to-back goals
in the second period to give Union a two-goal lead.
Webb now
has 10 goals on the season to tie him for first overall in the league. He
is also first in the league in power play goals with seven.
Webb's
first goal of the second game gave him 96 career points, passing former player
Chris Albert. He now stands at 97 points
and needs just eight more to overtake Christopher Ford.
Junior Scott Seney (Silver Spring, MD) was named to the ECACHL Honor Roll
following an impressive offensive display.
He recorded two goals and two assists.
Both goals came in the first game and the second would prove to be the
game-winner. His second assist the
following night came on Union's game-winning goal.
He leads the team with nine assists and has three goals on the season.
Union (5-5-0, 4-0-0) has won four straight for
its best ECACHL start in team history as they sit atop the league standings. They will look to continue their win streak
at Princeton this Friday to start a nine-game
road trip.
