DULUTH, Minn. – The Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA) has announced their "Three Stars of the Week" with senior Matteo Ybarra serving as one of the representatives for the Trine University men's hockey team.
Ybarra along with Drew Welsch become the third and fourth members of the Thunder to earn a weekly award this season. It is the first time in his career at Trine that he has taken home a weekly honor.
Ybarra finished the Thunder's lone win with four assists as the team won 6-4 over their hosts from SUNY Canton. He tallied assists on two goals in the second and third periods. He set up both the game winner and the final empty net goal that sealed the game. His performance ties the program record for most assists in a game and is one of nine times that a player has finished with four points in a contest for Trine.
