Mbereko Wins Second Straight NCHC Goaltender of the Week Award

Colorado College junior Kaidan Mbereko has been named the KJ Branding NCHC Goaltender of the Week for the second consecutive week.
 
Mbereko backstopped Colorado College to a sweep of cross-town rival Air Force, allowing only three goals all weekend while helping CC capture the Pikes Peak Trophy for a sixth straight season.
 
On Friday at Ed Robson Arena, Mbereko made 25 saves in a 3-2 overtime victory, including a stop in the extra session that led directly to the game-winning goal by Max Burkholder. A night later at the Air Force Academy, he was even better, compiling 27 stops in a 6-1 victory. Mbereko made nine saves during the Falcons seven power plays Saturday, as CC went 6-for-7 on the penalty kill in the series finale. He also made nine short-handed saves in Friday's win on three Air Force power plays.
 
Mbereko finished the series 2-0-0 in net while stopping 52 of 55 shots for a .945 save percentage, with the 52 saves the most in the NCHC over the weekend. He also posted a 1.49 goals-against average in the victories, as CC improved to 6-0-0 for the first time since 2000-01. On the season, Mbereko is 6-0-0 with a .940 save percentage and 1.33 GAA, both of which are tops in the NCHC.
 
The Tigers open NCHC play this weekend with a series against league-newcomer Arizona State, Nov. 8-9, at Robson Arena
