Albany, N.Y. (Nov. 14, 2005) – Senior Kris Mayotte (Pittsburgh, PA) was awarded his second ECACHL Goalie of the Week honor for the week ending November 12 after backstopping Union to a pair of ECACHL home victories. The first was a 6-2 win over Princeton for the first league win of the season and was followed up with a 2-0 win over then No. 20 ranked Quinnipiac. It was the fifth career win against the Tigers and first time Mayotte has faced the Bobcats. He combined for 56 saves and allowed just two goals for a 1.00 goals against average and a .966 save percentage. Mayotte is the second Union men's hockey player to receive a weekly award. Freshman Augie DiMarzo (West Haven, CT) was named to the honor roll.
Mayotte continued to give the Dutchmen confidence in net as he made 28 saves, 10 of those coming on the power play, and surrendered just two power play goals. He withstood a two-man advantage by the Tigers early in the third period, preventing the opposition from cutting into a two-goal, Union lead and provided a shift in momentum that led to two more goals for the home team.
He followed that up with another 28-save effort to earn his first shutout of the season and sixth of his career against the league's then-top offensive team. Mayotte made six of those saves on the power play and denied the Bobcats on a pair of two-man advantages during the game, including a 6-on-4 rush in the final 1:30 of the game.
Mayotte is not 5-3 on the season with a 3.14 goals against average and a .903 save percentage.
DiMarzo was placed on the league's weekly honor roll after putting up four points on one goal and three assists. In the game against Princeton he registered his second goal of the season on the power play for what would prove to be the game-winner. He also assisted on Union's fourth and sixth goals of the game. In the second game DiMarzo assisted on Union's game-winning goal to help lift the team over Quinnipiac. He has two goals and seven assists for nine points on the season. DiMarzo is second among freshmen in assists and tied for second in points.
