COLLEGE ROUNDUP: CHA honors Mironov, Noonan

After a strong weekend in which the Niagara University men’s hockey team twice defeated league rival Robert Morris, senior forward Egor Mironov and sophomore goalie Chris Noonan received honors from College Hockey America.

Mironov was named the league’s Offensive Player of the Week, while Noonan picked up Defensive Player of the Week accolades.

Mironov earned his first weekly honor after a three-goal effort over the weekend against RMU. He scored the game-winning goal Friday night and had a pair of goals in Saturday’s win, bringing his career total to 51.

Noonan nabbed his second CHA award after backstopping the Purple Eagles’ two victories while posting a 1.50 goals-against average and a .953 save percentage.

In addition to the weekly awards, NU placed 13 players on the CHA All-Academic team: Ryan Annesley, Adam Avramenko, Jim Burichin, Tyler Gotto, Bryan Haczyk, Mironov, David Ross, Paul Zanette, Dan Baco, Sam Goodwin, Robert Martini, Noonan and Ryan Olidis.

The fourth-seeded Purple Eagles open the 2010 CHA Tournament on their home ice at Dwyer Arena. Face-off is 7 p.m. Friday against No. 1 Bemidji State.

Individual game tickets are now on sale for the two-day event by calling the Niagara ticket office at 286-8499.
