Vidmar had two goals and two assists in four games to help Union go 3-0-1 during the month. His four points were tied for the most by an ECACH freshman.

Vidmar scored his first collegiate goal in a 4-4 tie with then eighth-ranked Harvard on Dec. 4 and chipped in an assist in a 3-0 win over Dartmouth the next night.

He notched his first multi-point game of the season in a dramatic 4-3 overtime win over Massachuttes on Dec. 11. He recorded the game-winning goal with nine seconds left in the extra session and also had an assist.

In 13 games this season, Vidmar has two goals and three assists.
