His Statistics: 2 GP, 2 wins, 61 saves, 2 GA

His Impact: In his first two collegiate starts, the 5-foot-10, 172-pound Bachman stopped all but one of the 24 shots he faced in a 3-1 win against visiting Minnesota, then followed with 38 saves — 21 of them coming during a hectic third period — in a 2-1 overtime victory over the Gophers in the series finale. Bachman will have to turn his game into overdrive if the Tigers are to pull off series sweeps over the next two weeks — CC's itinerary includes back-to-back weekend trips to New Hampshire and North Dakota.

His Runners-Up: Wes Clark (Maine), Chris D'Alvise (Clarkson), Juliano Pagliero (Niagara), Kyle Turris (Wisconsin), Andrew Volkening (Air Force), Tom Wingels (Miami)
