Ben DiMarco was named the Midwest Collegiate Hockey Association Freshman of the Week after lifting the Vikings to a big win on Nov. 15. DiMarco, a forward from Galveston, Texas, gave the Vikings a 1-0 victory over the Milwaukee School of Engineering when he scored with eight seconds left in regulation. DiMarco's first collegiate goal came when he picked off a MSOE turnover in the neutral zone, zoomed away from the defense, and beat MSOE goaltender Connor Toomey. DiMarco also had an assist in Lawrence's 2-1 loss at MSOE on Nov. 14.
