The junior collected two goals and two assists in third-ranked Union's weekend sweep of Clarkson and St. Lawrence at Messa Rink.

Ciampini registered his eighth multi-point game of the season with two goals, one of them short-handed, and an assist in Friday's 5-0 win over Clarkson.

In Saturday's 6-2 triumph over St. Lawrence, the Concord, Ontario native recorded an assist to help the Dutchmen clinch the top seed in the ECACH tournament for the third time in the last four seasons.

Ciampini, who is riding a seven-game point streak, has 16 goals and 14 assists in 31 games this season. The 16 goals lead the Dutchmen.

He is the third Union player to win the ECACH Player of the Week award this season, joining Mat Bodie (Dec. 17) and Shayne Gostisbehere (Nov. 19). Overall, the Dutchmen have captured 11 ECACH awards this season.

Union (22-6-4) travels to Yale on Friday before closing out the regular season at Brown on Saturday.
