UTICA, NY – Junior forward Conor Landrigan (New Tripoli, PA/Binghamton Jr. Sens (NAHL)) of the Utica College men’s ice hockey team has been selected as the United Collegiate Hockey Conference Player of the Week. The honor was announced by the conference offices in Rochester.
Landrigan earns the award for his brilliant performance in a Friday win against Nazareth. He had four points on two goals and two assists while guiding the Pioneers to victory in a 9-1 rout. He is on a six game point streak, and has nine goals and fifteen assists for 24 points in just twelve appearances. This is Landrigan’s second time winning the award in a four week period. He previously received the honor on January 14th.
Landrigan is now ninth in school history with 33 career goals after his performance this weekend, as he passed Adam Graff and Matt Fitzgibbons. His next goal will tie him for seventh alongside assistant coach Jon Ames, and All-American Roman Ammirato (Williamstown, NJ/Union College (ECAC)).
The Pioneers are 15-2-2 and have won their last ten games en route to a fourth place ranking in the latest US College Hockey Online Men’s Top 15. Utica returns to the ice in search of payback for an early season loss on Friday night as they visit No. 15 Elmira College.
