Patrick McDevitt was named the NESCAC Player of the Week by the conference office on Monday afternoon.

As the No. 5 seeded Cardinals traveled to No. 4 Middlebury for the NESCAC Championship quarterfinal matchup, the end result was a program-best 73 saves in goal for McDevitt in the double overtime matchup, the most in a single game. McDevitt's 73 stops also set a NESCAC Championship record for most saves in a single game.

McDevitt made 51 consecutive saves before allowing a goal late in the third period, while he went on to finish with 73 stops, surpassing former Cardinal Tim Sestak's previous single-game team and NESCAC Championship record of 65.

Sestak's 2019 performance in the NESCAC semifinal was a triple overtime defeat of Amherst.
