JUSTIN HOWARD NAMED NCHA PLAYER OF THE WEEK
     Lake Forest College goaltender Justin Howard, a 5-11, 170 pound junior from Burlington, Ontario, was been named the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association Player of the Week. Howard played the perfect game on Friday (Nov. 5) as he shutout St. Norbert College, 1-0. He stopped all 32 shots he faced versus St. Norbert, the three-time defending NCHA regular season champions and two-time defending NCHA Tournament champs. Howard pitched the first shutout by a Lake Forest goalie since Nov. 1, 1997 and the first in NCHA play since Dec. 9, 1995. In the two games against SNC he made 71 saves and garnered a .922 save percentage. Although the Foresters and Howard were handed their first loss of the season, 6-1, on Saturday (Nov. 6) at St. Norbert, Lake Forest Head Coach Tony Fritz thought Howard, ".played equally well on Saturday."
     Lake Forest is currently 3-1-0 overall and 1-1-0 in the NCHA for the season. The Foresters will travel to UW-Eau Claire on Friday night (Nov. 12) and to UW-Stevens Points on Saturday afternoon (Nov. 13).
