His
Impact: Sims posted his first career shutout
in a 4-0 win over UMass Lowell Friday night and added
his second just 24 hours later agains the River Hawks,
becoming the first Friar goaltender to record a shutout
in consecutive games. Sims' save totals weren't overwhelming
(23 on Friday, 19 on Saturday), but his presence helped
lift a Providence team that rebounded from an 0-2-0
start with a pair of convincing upsets. Sims' early
numbers (2-2-0, 1.67 GAA, .926 sv. pct.) are significant
improvements over his freshman year (2.80, .914).
