NESCAC Co-Players of the Week

Alegria led the Polar Bears in a pair of road games at Conn. College and Tufts to keep the Polar Bears unbeaten in NESCAC play. Down 2-1 in the third period at Conn. College, Alegria scored the game-tying goal, unassisted, in the third period to force a 2-2 tie. Against Tufts, the rookie broke a 1-1 deadlock with a goal in the final seconds of the opening period and followed up by assisting on the game-winner with under seven minutes to play in the third period to secure a 3-2 victory. For the weekend, Alegria’s two goals and assist all came on game-tying and game-winning scores. 

Jack McManus – Williams – So. – F – Winthrop, Mass.
McManus recorded three goals and two assists in a 1-1-0 weekend. The sophomore scored two goals 59 seconds apart in the third period, while also recording an assist in the first period, in a 4-3 overtime setback to No. 6-ranked Hamilton. McManus tied the game up at 5:27 of the third period on a power-play goal and added an unassisted marker at 6:26 to give the Ephs a brief 3-2 lead. Against visiting Amherst, McManus assisted the game-winning goal and scored a late tally in a 5-2 triumph over the Mammoths.

NESCAC Weekly Honor Roll
Amherst – Junior Jesse Zack (Dallas, Pa.) had a hand in three of the four Mammoth goals last week, scoring one goal and adding two assists. 

Colby – Tyler Crist (Bethesda, Md.) scored two goals in Colby's 5-1 win over Tufts.  The senior’s first tally came early in the second period to knot the game at 1-1, and he scored his second goal midway through the third to put the game out of reach. Both of Crist's scores came off forced turnovers and were unassisted. Colby Browne (Evergreen, Colo.) tallied the game-winner against Tufts, adding an assist later in the same period, and scored the lone goal for the Mules in a setback at Conn. Browne is currently tied for the NESCAC lead with eight goals and 14 points. 

Conn. College - Senior goalie Will McEvoy (Ottawa, Ontario) led Conn. College to a 1-0-1 weekend as the Camels closed out 2025. On Friday night against No. 13 Bowdoin, McEvoy stopped 30 shots as the teams played to a 2-2 tie before making the decisive save in the shootout, as Conn. College earned the extra point. On Saturday, McEvoy continued his strong play, stopping 24 of 25 shots against Colby, as the Camels picked up a 2-1 win. For the weekend, McEvoy finished with 54 saves, a 1.44 goals against average, and a .947 save percentage.

Hamilton – Luke Tchor (Toronto, Ontario) scored two goals at Williams, including a power-play tally 29 seconds into the sudden-victory overtime period, in the Continentals' 4-3 win.

Hamilton and the Panthers played to a 0-0 tie, but the Continentals won the shootout, 3-2.

Middlebury – Junior Andrew Heinze (North Andover, Mass.) tallied 60 saves and led the Panthers to a 1-0-1 mark. The Panther shook off two early goals in the opening game of the weekend, stopping 21 shots over the final 40 minutes in a 3-2 come-from-behind win against Amherst. The junior’s performance also snapped Middlebury’s six-game losing streak to the Mammoths. Against Hamilton, Heinze stopped all 31 Continental shots on target for his second shutout of the season to preserve a 0-0 tie. 

Trinity – Sophomore Ty Broad (Buffalo, N.Y.) powered the Bantams' offense in a pair of victories, registering four points with four goals. Broad delivered the game-winning goal in a 5-1 victory at Manhattanville and registered his first career hat trick in a 5-0 victory at New England College.
