APPLETON, Wis. -- Lawrence University's Evan Johnson and Nick Jennette won weekly awards handed out by the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association.
Johnson, a sophomore goaltender from Suwanee, Ga., was named the Defensive Player of the Week, and Jennette, a senior forward from Grand Rapids, Mich., was the Offensive Player of the Week.
Johnson recorded back-to-back shutouts in Lawrence's 5-0 and 8-0 victories over the University of Minnesota-Crookston this past weekend. He made 17 saves in each game.
Johnson has now posted a school-record three consecutive shutouts and is unscored upon in 180 minutes. The three consecutive shutouts has been done four other times in NCAA history, with the record of four straight shutouts being held by St. Norbert College's Kyle Jones in 2006 and St. John's University's Adam Hanna in 2004. Johnson's streak of 180 minutes is the seventh-longest in NCAA history, and Jones also holds the record for shutout minutes at 337:22.
Johnson now has four shutouts for his career, which ties the school record held by Andrew Isaac, who played for the Vikings from 2003-07.
Johnson has lowered his goals against average to 2.47 and has a .919 save percentage this season.
Jennette piled up a league-high seven points on the weekend with three goals and four assists. He picked up a power-play goal and an assist in last Friday's win, and then had two goals and three assists in Saturday's victory. All three assists came on Marc Howe's hat trick.
Jennette now has three goals and five assists for eight points this season.
Lawrence returns to action this week with three nonconference games, all on the road.
