After leading the Harvard men’s hockey team to its first victory of the season last Tuesday against then-No. 3 Boston College, goalie Kyle Richter was named the ECAC Rookie of the Week yesterday.
The freshman posted 36 saves for the Crimson in a 4-0 upset of the Eagles.
Harvard’s first win of the season was also Richter’s first shutout and first collegiate victory.
In front of Richter, the Crimson defense held Boston College scoreless in eight power-play opportunities.
Harvard coach Ted Donato ‘91 said that Richter’s play was “superb,” adding, “he really made some big saves.”
The rookie’s performance earned him the nod against then-No. 11 Cornell on Friday night in Ithaca, N.Y. Richter held the Big Red to one goal on 12 shots through two periods before allowing two late goals in a 3-2 losing effort.
Richter has split time in net with senior Justin Tobe. In three games, the freshman has tallied a 1-2 record.
