Carr ranked fourth in the country with eight points during December, finishing the month with two goals and six assists. He registered a season-high three points (all assists) in a 6-4 triumph over then fifth-ranked Quinnipiac on Dec. 7th. The win moved the Dutchmen into a first-place tie in the ECAC with the Bobcats.
Lichtenwald was the top scoring freshman in the country during December with seven points (4 g, 3 a). The 21-year-old collected a career-high three points (2 g, 1 a) in the win over Quinnipiac on Dec. 7. He enters 2014 with at least a point in five straight games.
Stevens went 3-0-1 in five December starts. He recorded a career-high 37 saves in a 3-2 win over Dartmouth on Dec. 11, a victory that gave Union sole possession of first place in the ECAC. The Niskayuna native followed that effort with a 35-save performance in a 3-3 tie at then top-ranked St. Cloud State on Dec. 14. He earned Goaltender of the Week honors on Dec. 10 and 17.
Fifth-ranked Union (12-3-3 overall, 8-1-0 ECAC) returns to action on Jan. 10 with a rematch at eighth-ranked Quinnipiac.
