Western Michigan hockey forward Luke Grainger was named National Collegiate Hockey Conference Forward of the Week Monday. The junior collected four points in a series split at Lawson Arena over the weekend.
In Friday's 5-4 loss to the Bulldogs, Grainger capped off a scoring flurry in dramatic fashion. After trailing 2-0, the team rattled off three goals in just under three minutes. Grainger got the last of the three when he intercepted a pass shorthanded and scored on a breakaway for a go-ahead goal.
WMU was facing another tough loss at home Saturday. Trailing 3-1, Grainger helped ignite a comeback for a 5-3 victory.
