MCIVER’S WORK BETWEEN THE PIPES EARNS SEASON’S SECOND GOALKEEPER OF THE WEEK AWARD

SOUTH EASTON, Mass. – Goalkeeper Doug McIver picked up Northeast-10 Goalkeeper of the Week honors for March 10 after a solid performance between the pipes against Mercyhurst. The award marks the second consecutive week that junior from Altamont, N.Y. earns the distinction.

McIver played three quarters during No. 1 Le Moyne’s 17-1 romp over No. 6 Mercyhurst in a rematch of last season’s Division II National Championship. He surrendered just one goal on 12 shots, collecting five saves in the process. For the season, he owns a .857 save percentage. McIver has allowed only three goals in two Dolphin wins.

Le Moyne is riding a thirteen-game win streak that dates back to last season. The Dolphins (2-0) put their perfect record on the line when they travel to No. 4 C.W. Post (6-0) for a 1 p.m. game Saturday.
