Emery captures MCHA weekly award

Lawrence University’s Peter Emery was named the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association Freshman of the Week after his performance last weekend.

Emery (Goleta, Calif.), a rookie goaltender, was in net for both of Lawrence’s victories at Northland College last weekend.

Emery made 29 saves in Lawrence’s 3-0 victory last Friday to pick up his second shutout of the season. Emery followed that with 29 saves again on Saturday in the Vikings’ 3-2 win.

On the weekend, Emery posted a .967 save percentage and a 1.00 goals against average. Emery improved his season record to 7-7-2 with a 2.46 GAA and .921 save percentage.

It marks the second this season Emery has won the Freshman of the Week award. He also too the honor back on Nov. 22.

Lawrence returns to action this weekend when it plays Marian University in the Battle of Highway 41 series.
