Matt Melchiori
Hockey
Junior forward Matt Melchiori led Lawrence University to a pair of wins over Northland College this past weekend and was named the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association Player of the Week.

In Saturday's win, Melchiori assisted on the game¹s first goal, a short-hander by his brother, Paul, and then helped cap the scoring by assisting on Aaron Graber's goal in the third period.
