With his shutout on Friday, sophomore Cody Reichard is now second in the country in goals-against average and tied for the NCAA lead in wins.
Reichard's GAA dropped to 1.45 after posting a 3-0 blanking of Western Michigan over the weekend. He is tied with Alaska sophomore Scott Greenham and Colorado College freshman Joe Howe with eight wins.
Reichard is also third in the country in save percentage at .936. Junior Marc Cheverie of Denver leads both GAA (1.19) and save percentage (.961), and Benidji State sophomore Dan Bakala is second in save percentage (.938).
Bakala will likely be in net when Miami plays Bemidji State on Friday.
As a team, Miami is second nationally in team defense, allowing 1.71 goals per game. Bemidji State is first at 1.67.
