Wisconsin Junior goaltender Adam Hauser has been named WCHA Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in last weekend's sweep of then-second-ranked Wisconsin at Mariucci Arena. With the sweep, the Golden Gophers moved to number two in the latest national rankings and at 7-0-1, are off to their best start since 1987-88.

Hauser, a native of Bovey, Minn., shut down a potent Badger offense as he stopped 67-of-69 shots during the two-game sweep. On Friday night, he collected his fifth career shutout in a 4-0 victory. Hauser stopped all 31 shots he faced. In Saturday's 5-2 victory, Hauser stopped 36-of- 38 shots to earn his seventh victory of the season.

Hauser ranks third among WCHA goaltenders with a 1.86 goals-against- average and .938 winning percentage. He is sixth in save percentage at .919.

The second-ranked Golden Gophers travel to Grand Forks, N.D., to battle the seventh-ranked Fighting Sioux of North Dakota.
