WORCESTER, Mass. - Holy Cross men's ice hockey junior
Will Elias has been named Atlantic Hockey Defenseman of the Week, as announced by the league Tuesday morning.
Elias finished the weekend series against Air Force with three assists, three blocked shots, and a +4 rating.
In Friday's 3-2 win, Elias assisted on senior
Jack Seymour's opening score and tallied two blocked shots and a +1 rating. In Saturday's 4-1 win, Elias assisted on junior
Jack Stockfish's game winning goal, and sophomore
Noah Eyre's empty net score to extend the lead to 3-1, finishing the night +3.
Elias' three assists tied for second in the league for the weekend, and were the most points in a single weekend by a Holy Cross defenseman this season. His +4 rating tied for the league-lead with fellow Crusaders
Jack Seymour and
Matt DeBoer.
Holy Cross (7-5-1, 7-1-1 AHA) returns to the Hart Center Rink when they host Alaska Anchorage for a two-game non-conference set on Thursday, Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 23 at 2 p.m. Tickets are available for both games at
