MIKE RADJA
New Hampshire

His Statistics: 2 GP, 4-2—6, 1 GWG, 1 SHG

His Impact: The list of New Hampshire players who've grown from solid contributors as freshmen and sophomores to offensive stars as juniors and seniors is impressive. During coach Dick Umile's reign in Durham, seeing Wildcat forwards make that progression has become the norm.

Mike Radja certainly exemplifies that career track. After solid showings in his freshman and sophomore seasons, he exploded for 19 goals and 37 points last season. At his current rate, he's likely to eclipse those standards this year.

Radja has 9-10—19 in his last nine games, a stretch that includes last weekend's series at Maine. He was UNH's offense in Friday's 3-2 win at Alfond Arena, finishing off a hat trick with a shorthanded goal seven minutes into the third period. In the Wildcats' 4-1 victory Saturday, he added a goal and two assists.

His Runners-Up: Ryan Cruthers (Robert Morris), Bud Fisher (Quinnipiac), Peter Mannino (Denver), Alexandre Parent (Sacred Heart), Brian Stewart (Northern Michigan)
