Carle Named WCHA Defensive Player of the Week Again.
DENVER - University of Denver defenseman Matt Carle (Anchorage, Alaska), who was instrumental at both ends of the ice while helping the Pioneers to a two-game conference road sweep at Minnesota Duluth last weekend, has been named WCHA Defensive Player of the Week for Dec. 19-25. Carle also earned co-Defensive Player of the Week honors on Dec. 5.

A 6-0, 195-pound junior from Anchorage, Alaska, Carle contributed four scoring points in the series, contributed eight hits and recorded six blocked shots from his blueline position as Denver earned 4-2 and 3-1 victories over the host Bulldogs. Carle helped key a defensive team effort that yielded just three goals and blanked UMD on all 12 of their power-play chances.

Last Friday (Dec. 16) night, Carle factored in on all three of the Pioneers' first-period goals in the 4-2 victory, scoring a game-tying power-play goal and assisting on two others, including teammate Chris Butler's (St. Louis, Mo.) eventual game-winner. Then last Saturday (Dec. 17) evening, Carle drew an assist on Butler's game-tying goal in the second period as Denver rallied from a 1-0 deficit to win, 3-1.
