BULLDOGS
Yale beat Union and RPI last weekend at home by a combined score of 9-1, the best offensive weekend for the Elis this season. Four of those goals and five points came off the stick of sophomore forward Curtis Hall, the Boston Bruins draft pick who leads the nation with .92 goals per game and earned ECAC Player of the Week and NCAA 3 Star honors. Tyler Welsh had four assists last week, while senior goalie Corbin Kaczperski, the ECAC's Goalie of the Week for the third time this year, stopped 48 of 49 shots to get both wins in the Yale net.
