ROSEMONT, Ill. -- University of Michigan ice hockey junior forward Alex Kile was named Big Ten First Star of the Week today (Tuesday, Nov. 24). Kile led all Michigan scorers with three points (2G, A) in a split weekend at nationally ranked Boston University.
On Friday night (Nov. 20), Kile notched a goal and an assist, his first multiple-point game of the season, in Michigan's 3-2 loss. On Saturday night (Nov. 21), Kile added a power-play goal (an eventual game-winner) to cap off Michigan's three-goal first period en route to a 4-2 win in Boston. Kile has points in three straight games and is fourth on the team in scoring (4G, 4A). This marks the first time that Kile has earned a weekly award from the Big Ten.
No. 12 Michigan returns home to face Dartmouth in a two-game Thanksgiving weekend series beginning with a Friday night (Nov. 27) contest at Yost Arena. Puck drop will be at 7:35 p.m. [ Tickets ]
