For the third week in a row, a Miami RedHawk has been recognized for his on-ice performance. Over the past two weeks, freshmen Tyler Biggs and Austin Czarnik were lauded as Gongshow CCHA Rookies of the Week. This time, senior defenseman Chris Wideman was named the Gladiator CCHA Defenseman of the Week for his efforts in Miami’s win and tie against visiting Bowling Green.

On the weekend, the senior from St. Louis was +4 with three assists and two blocked shots as Miami improved to 4-0-2 over their past six contests.

Miami will try to make it four solid weekends in a row as they travel to take on Providence and Denver in the 2011 Denver Cup at Magness Arena. The puck drops at 6:37pm EST on Friday and 9:07pm EST on Saturday.
