Offensive Player of the Week
Sebastian, a 5-10, 185-pound senior from Burlington, Ontario, helped the Purple Eagles earn three-of-four points in a CHA series last week vs. Bemidji State. He tallied an assist in Niagara's 3-2 win Friday, and played a hand in all three Purple Eagle goals in Saturday's 3-3 tie, including NU's first two goals of the game. He also assisted on Niagara's third goal.

Defensive Player of the Week
Methven, a 6-1, 210-pound junior from Mora, Minn., led a Beaver defense that held the nation's leading goal scorer (Joe Tallari) to just one assist last week. Methven recorded an assist in Friday's loss to Niagara and was a +2 for the series.

Rookie of the Week
Kovalchik, a 5-10, 180-pound defenseman from Riverview, Mich., recorded his fifth assist of the season on Wayne State's second period goal to knot the game at 2-2 vs. Notre Dame. The Irish won 3-2 with a late third period goal.
