Settimo, Mobley and Burke Take SUNYAC Men's Ice Hockey Weekly Honors
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Cortland teammates Domenic Settimo and Ronan Mobley are the SUNYAC Men's Ice Hockey Athlete and Goaltender of the Week respectively while Oswego's Ryan Burke is the Rookie of the Week.
Settimo had a four-point week in helping the nationally 15th-ranked Red Dragons to a pair of SUNYAC victories over the weekend. The senior scored two goals on two shots in a 4-3 home victory over Oswego on Saturday evening, while also posting an on-ice rating of (+2). Settimo netted the first goal for the Red Dragons in the first period on a backhanded shot, then scored Cortland's third goal late in the second period, also a backhand, in the win. That performance followed a two-assist showing in a 6-2 home win over Morrisville on Friday evening, recording the primary assist on Cortland's first and fourth goals.
Mobley had a pair of strong performances in goal for the nationally 15th-ranked Red Dragons in a pair of SUNYAC wins, posting a 2-0-0 record, a .915 save percentage, and a 2.51 GAA. The junior had a gutsy performance in helping lead Cortland to a 4-3 victory over Oswego in a battle for first place in the conference standings on Saturday evening, making 31 saves in goal. He stopped all 13 shots he faced in the third period to secure the one-goal win, and also delivered numerous clutch saves in the first period to keep the Red Dragons within striking distance. Mobley also had an efficient outing on Friday evening, stopping 23-of-25 shots in a 6-2 home victory over Morrisville.
Freshman Burke continued his great season this week against Canton and Cortland. First, on Friday, Burke scored two goals and assisted on a third. Then, at Cortland, he added two more assists for the week. In his first season as a Laker, Burke is second in the SUNYAC in points and tied for first in assists so far this year.
