Sophomore Cale Morris — though he may as well have been a freshman given that he barely played last season — didn't get off to a great start this season. But Notre Dame coach Jeff Jackson was left with nowhere else to turn after freshman Dennis St. Cyr — who did have a good start — faltered badly in two straight weekends at the end of October.

So it was back to Morris, and he's now run with it to earn the No. 1 goaltender job for now. The latest indication of that resurgence for the 6-foot-1 Colorado native as a 1-0 shutout against Penn State on Saturday night in South Bend to complete a weekend sweep.
