Had a breakout sophomore season for the Beavers finishing the campaign matching Rob Sirianni for the team lead with 12-17=29 points... His 12 goals was second only to Luke Erickson’s 13 while his 17 assist ranked him second to Sirianni... Led all Beavers with 2-12=14 points in league play... Finished among the CHA’s top six players with six power-play goals, short-handed points (2-1=3) and short-handed goals (2)... His two short-handed goals were good enough for 24th in all of NCAA Division hockey... Logged time in all 33 games.
Was in on the scoring of just one goal during the Beavers’ first four games notching an assist in the first contest of the series at Niagara (10/27)... But by the time BSU had 10 games in the books, he had accounted for 10 points... Rolled up a six-game scoring streak beginning with a one-goal, one-assist night in a 4-3 victory over Minnesota State (11/3) and extending through the final game of the Niagara series (11/18)...
