MARK
VAN GUILDER
Notre Dame
His
Statistics: 2 GP, 3-2—5
His
Impact: Given the team's recent history of
knocking Boston College from the nation's no. 1 ranking,
maybe Notre Dame's 7-1 thrashing of the Eagles in Chestnut
Hill Friday shouldn't be that big of a surprise. What
has been somewhat of a shock is the Fighting Irish's
offensive prowess, led by Van Guilder. The junior pivot
scored a hat trick against BC, then added a pair of
assists in Notre Dame's 6-1 drubbing of Providence Saturday.
Van Guilder, who entered the season having scored 11
goals and 34 points in two seasons with the Irish, owns
the team lead in goals (five) and points (eight).
