Cornell was rock-solid in cage for the Cats this week racking up 26 saves over the two games including a career-high 18 against UMass last Wednesday. He also stopped eight of nine shots against NJIT in the conference opener on Saturday. Cornell has a ridiculous 90-percent save percentage against the Highlanders in his career (18-for-20). His 9.71 goals against average this season is tops in the conference and 13^th nationally.
 
Pope picked up his second career honor thanks in large part to a solid day in his first career America East game on Saturday. He scored a goal and added a pair of assists against NJIT. The rookie from Maryland also dished out an assist against UMass. He now has seven goals and five assists on the season.
