MALE: Andrew D'Agostini (Peterborough, Ont.) – 2nd yr – Guelph Gryphons – Hockey
Guelph Gryphons goalie Andrew D’Agostini (Scarborough, Ont.) was perfect this weekend, turning aside all 76 shots he faced for back-to-back shutouts.
On Friday night in Ottawa, the second-year public management student-athlete made 33 saves to lead the Gryphons to a 2-0 win over the No. 9 nationally-ranked Carleton Ravens.
The 5-foot-11, 183 lbs goaltender was back between the pipes on Saturday as the Gryphons took on the RMC Paladins.
