COREY ZINDEL,
MARIST
A, Jr., 6-1,
Randolph, NJ/Randolph
Zindel had two
goals in Marist's 11-10 overtime win at Sacred Heart Saturday night. His second

MAAC Defensive Player of the Week
BRENT HERBST,
SIENA
G, Sr., 6-0,
180, Plainview, NY/Plainview JFK
Herbst made nine saves and allowed just seven goals to
No. 4 Johns Hopkins at Homewood Field. Herbst made two big saves, going down
and smothering rockets early in the first quarter as his team settled down in
front of him. Siena registered its first shot at 6:06 of the first quarter.
Herbst made a heads-up play with the game tied and just a minute left in the
game. Siena turned the ball over in its own end and Steven Boyle had the ball
all alone 10 yards away from the cage. Herbst read
the play, came sprinting out, and hit Boyle before he could turn. Boyle flung
the ball towards the empty net, but it hit the post. Herbst was called for a
30-second penalty and Hopkins went man-up. Hopkins scored on extra-man with
Siena's backup goalie in the game and Herbst watching from the penalty box.
MAAC Rookie of the Week
KELLY McMINN, VMI
G, R-Fr., 5-10,
Mission Viejo, CA/JSerra Catholic
McMinn stopped 16 shots in VMI's 10-9 win over
Jacksonville, including three during a key JU possession late in the fourth
quarter that helped preserve the narrow margin. The save total was a career
high for the redshirt freshman, making his second collegiate start and third
career appearance. It also ranked him fourth on the all-time VMI single-game
list.
