Told you we’d have a lot of celebrating to do today. The Big Ten announced its end-of-season honors today. By and large, the Buckeyes cleaned up.
Tommy Nappier was named the conference’s Goalie of the Year. The sophomore netminder led the Big Ten in both GAA (1.82) and save percentage (.936). His conference goals-against was the second-lowest mark of its kind in Big Ten history. His save percentage was fourth-best. Nappier ranks third nationally in save percentage (.934) and seventh in GAA (1.91). It should be obvious why he’s a semifinalist for the Mike Richter Award, given annually to the best goalie in the NCAA.
