ROSEMONT, Ill. – Sophomore Reese Laubach (San Jose, Calif.) was named Big Ten Hockey’s Third Star of the Week for his performances against No. 9/8 Ohio State over the weekend as announced by the conference office on Tuesday morning.

Laubach earns his second career Big Ten weekly award and first of the year joining Arsenii Sergeev (Jan. 7), John Seifarth (Dec. 3), Aiden Fink (Nov. 26) and Simon Mack (Oct. 8) who were each honored by the conference earlier this season.

Laubach paced the Nittany Lions to a four-point weekend against the Buckeyes with a shootout win and overtime victory registering back-to-back multi-point efforts and finishing the series with one goal and a trio of assists.

Laubach notched a pair of helpers in a 6-6 tie and shootout win on Friday before registering the primary assist on the game opening goal on Saturday and capping off the weekend with the overtime game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory in front of a record-setting crowd of 6,604 on Saturday night.

The San Jose, California native missed the previous four games with an injury before returning this weekend and now stands tied for second on the team with 19 points in 20 games on nine goals and 10 assists, just one goal and two assists shy of his freshman year totals.

The Nittany Lions continue Big Ten play this weekend with the first of back-to-back road series with a trip to Ann Arbor to battle the No. 13/12 Michigan Wolverines on Friday and Saturday evening. Saturday’s contest will air nationally on B1G Network.
