TROY, N.Y. – ECAC Hockey has announced its weekly award winners for men’s hockey and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) student-athlete Owen Savory has been named MAC Goaltending Goalie of the Week.
A sophomore from Cambridge, Ont., Savory posted a 25-save shutout of St. Lawrence University in his only start last week. On Saturday against the Saints, he recorded six saves in the first period, eight in the second and 11 in the third to pick up his fourth win the season. Stopping a handful of breakaway in the first two periods, he helped the Engineers go 3 for 3 killing penalties on the night.
Savory has made 12 starts this season, going 4-7-1 with a 2.92 goals against average and an .896 save percentage. In nine ECAC Hockey contests, the former St. Catharines Falcons standout is 3-5-1 with a 2.64 goals against average and a .902 save percentage.
In 37 career games (35 starts), Savory is 9-22-4, with a 2.61 goals against average and a .918 save percentage. He has two shutouts with the Engineers, including a 43-save outing against Union College in the 2019 Mayor’s Cup.
Last season, Savory was a finalist for ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Year and took home All-Rookie Team honors. He earned ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors, as well as the team’s Most Valuable Player, Most Improved Player and Freshman of the Year.
The Engineers are back in action this weekend, when they host No. 2 Cornell University and Colgate University on Friday (7pm) and Saturday (7pm), respectively.
