NATHAN
LAWSON
Alaska Anchorage
His
Statistics: 2 GP, 56 saves, 4 GA
His
Impact: The Seawolves find themselves in the
middle of the WCHA standings – a marked improvement
from the past few seasons – due in part to the
fine play of Lawson, who has allowed two or fewer goals
in four of his last five starts. Not surprisingly, UAA
has won four of its last five, the latest being a sweep
of North Dakota, which entered the series rated fourth
in the INCH Power Rankings. Since losing a 3-2 overtime
decision to Wisconsin at Sullivan Arena Nov. 3, Lawson
has registered a .929 save percentage and a 2.50 goals
against average. Getting a little support from your
friends helps, too. The 10 goals scored against the
Fighting Sioux last weekend are the most for UAA in
a two-game series since the Seawolves tallied 11 in
a sweep of Michigan Tech Jan. 4-5, 2002.
