Barðdal had an impressive week with eight points on four goals. The Garðabær, Iceland native scored three goals on five shot attempts in a 5-1 rout at Holy Cross on Tuesday. He became the first Catamount to record a hat trick since Brian Wright '17 in the 2016 NCAA Tournament. The 6-0 midfielder capped off the week with one goal in Saturday's 4-0 shutout over UMBC.
 
Runarsson set a career high with 12 saves against the Retrievers. The victory helped the senior goalie climb to No. 3 on UVM's all-time list with his 28th-career win. He also moved into a ninth-place tie with his 14th-career clean sheet.
 
Vermont will travel to No. 14 New Hampshire on Wednesday (Nov. 6) with an America East regular season title on the line. The opening kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Fans can catch all of the action on AmericaEast.TV.
