SAINT PAUL – St. Norbert goaltender David Jacobson () has been named Player of the Week in the NCHA Men’s Conference after stopping all 46 shots he faced last week.  Jacobson racked up three victories while holding opponents scoreless for 180 minutes.

St. Norbert raised its third NCAA Championship banner on October 23rd, with Jacobson posting a shutout in a 4-0 win.  He made 17 saves and turned back four Falcons power play opportunities.

In a weekend home-and-home series with UW-Stevens Point, Jacobson continued his streak of perfection, notching 18 and 11 saves in the two-game sweep.  He turned back six Pointer power play chances.

Jacobson is one of four goalies nationally with a 0.00 goals against average; no other goalie has more than a 60 minute shutout streak.  His three shutouts rank first in the nation.
