Congratulations to this week's DIII Posters' Player of the Week, freshman goalie Zeke Testa of Babson College.
On January 22nd, the University of New England played host to the Babson Beavers. 36 shots on goal later, the Nor'Easters had failed to get a single puck in the net. 6-0 was the score for Babson, who moved on the next night to play the University of Southern Maine. Yet another 26 shots on goal got past the defense, and this time 1 of them got past the goalie as well. But, it was only 1. And thus Babson's goalkeeper, Zeke Testa, has become the first Freshman, and only second goalkeeper, to gain the honor of the DIII Posters' Player of the Week. With a whopping 0.984 save percentage, 0.50 Goals Against Average, 1 shutout, and 61 saves, there is no doubt that this honor is well-deserved. Congratulations to Zeke Testa of Babson College.
I figured I should start posting the running list of POTWs as well, so here it is (dates are the Monday that I opened voting, since that is the most consistent occurence):
And now, for this week. As of this moment, the poll on procedural amendments sit thusly:
Make Polls Public - 17 votes (73.91%)
No voting for primary team of interest - 4 votes (17.39%)
Nominator may not vote for his/her own nominee - 4 votes (17.39%)
Poll creator may reject a nomination - 15 votes (65.22%)
Poll creator filters nominees to 5 max - 13 votes (56.52%)
Those that are bolded are currently above 50%, and thus are in position to pass. When the poll closes at 12:02am on Monday, whatever of the 5 choices are above (not at) 50% will enter force THIS WEEK.
So, with that in mind, let the nominations begin! For a few weeks now, I've pushed back the deadline to 11pm, rather than the original 12pm, in order to have the nominations open for at least 24 hours. So, for consistency's sake, the deadline for nominations is 11pm ET on Monday.
Get 'em in!
