ADRIAN, Mich. — The Northern Collegiate Hockey Association (NCHA) has announced its men's hockey 3 Stars of the Week for games played February 6-8.
Nikita Borodaenko, F, Sr., Dubuque
Borodaenko, a native of Dmitrov, Russia, put on a scoring clinic to lead the Spartans to a crucial weekend sweep of Lawrence. The senior forward exploded for five points (4G, 1A) over the two-game series. After netting the game-winning goal in Friday's 3-1 victory, Borodaenko took over on Sunday with a dominant hat trick and an assist. His three goals on Sunday all came on the power play, helping Dubuque secure a 6-4 win and vital points in the conference standings.
Andon Coles, D, Fr., Dubuque
Coles, a native of St. Alberta, Alberta, provided playmaking from the blue line to help spark the Spartans' offense during their weekend sweep. The freshman defenseman racked up five assists over the two contests. Coles tallied two helpers in Friday's win and followed it up with a three-assist performance on Sunday.
Patrick Saini, F, So., Adrian
Saini, a native of Toronto, Ontario, was unstoppable for the Bulldogs as they secured a high-scoring sweep over Concordia Wisconsin. The sophomore forward racked up five goals over the weekend, starting with a natural hat trick on Friday night to lead Adrian to a 4-1 win. Saini stayed hot on Saturday, netting two more goals in the first five minutes of the game—including the eventual game-winner—to propel the Bulldogs to an 8-1 victory.
