Union defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere was named ECAC Hockey Player of the Week on Tuesday.

The junior recorded four points in Union's weekend sweep of Capital District rival and tenth-ranked Rensselaer.

He picked up two assists in Friday's 4-3 win at Messa Rink and collected two third period goals that helped secure Saturday's 4-1 victory at Houston Field House. Gostisbehere fired 14 shots on goal in the two-game series.

After Saturday's game, Rensselaer head coach Seth Appert called Gostisbehere "the best player in the country."

Gostisbehere has 12 points (4 g, 8 a) in 11 games this season.
