Briggs Named Inside College Hockey Player of the Week
12/2/2003 12:00:00 AM | Athletics
From INCH:
"His Statistics: 2 GP, 53 saves on 56 shots.
His Impact: After Travis Weber decided to leave the Gophers during the summer, coach Don Lucia hoped either Justin Johnson or Briggs would step to the fore. It took about a month - and a 2-7-1 start - before Briggs assumed the No. 1 spot. He solidified his grasp on goaltending duties for the defending champs last weekend, leading Minnesota to wins against Michigan and Michigan State in the annual College Hockey Showcase.
His Runners-Up: Bernd Bruckler and Brian Elliott (Wisconsin), Yann Danis (Brown), Elias Godoy (UMass Lowell), Dana Lattery (Western Michigan), Ryan Whitney (Boston University)"
The award is the first for a Minnesota player from INCH (www.insidecollegehockey.com).
