Forward: Gregory Diamond, Mercer Chiefs
Diamond (‘04/West Chester, Pa.) scored three goals and added three assists for six points in just two games, both Mercer wins as they extended their winning streak now to nine games in a row.

He stopped 75 of 80 shots faced in the two victories for a .938 save percentage and a 2.40 GAA on the weekend. This included stopping 45 of 48 in his Oct. 25 win.
Rookie: Roman Cicco, West Chester Wolves
Cicco (‘05/Export, Pa.) registered a goal and added three assists for four points in the Wolves’ most recent two wins. He currently has six points in his eight games with the Wolves after joining this year from the Cranbrook Kingswood School.
