The junior, committed to Brown University, broke his 200 career saves threshold in the game.

Head Coach Dan Stone says, “Will’s daily preparation in practice and on his own are a direct reflection of his performance. He leads by example so when he speaks, other's listen and respond accordingly. Will embraces the challenges of being a goalie and welcomes the pressure it brings as the final line of defense.”

Defensive Player of the Week
