PSU Men’s Hockey player named to MASCAC Honor Roll

            PLYMOUTH, N.H. - One of the freshmen on the Plymouth State University men's ice hockey team was honored Monday with selection to the Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Weekly Honor Roll.

            Freshman Alex Cottle (West Chester, Pa./Phila. Jr. Flyers) was named to the MASCAC Honor Roll after recording four points in a 2-0 week for the Panthers.  He helped PSU knock off UMass Dartmouth, 6-5, in overtime Thursday in a MASCAC match-up and Franklin Pierce, 2-1, Saturday in a non-conference affair.

            A 5'10, 170-pound forward, Cottle (right) scored a goal and added two assists in the win over UMass Dartmouth, including an assist on the goal that sent the game into overtime.  He added an assist on PSU's first goal in the second period Saturday in what ended up as a one-goal win over Franklin Pierce. Cottle now has three goals and five assists in eight games this season.

            PSU, 10-6 overall, 6-3 in the MASCAC and riding a four-game winning streak, is home this Thursday to host Framingham State at 6:00 p.m. at Waterville Valley Arena.
