Notre Dame has five players among Big Ten Distinguished Scholars

There are some smart players on the Irish’s hockey team.

Notre Dame continues to add to its reputation of having some of the smartest student-athletes in the nation. The latest proof of that is five hockey players being named 2020-21 Big Ten Distinguished Scholars. Those players are accounting majors Alex Steeves and Charlie Raith, business analytics majors Pierce Crawford and Trevor Janicke, and finance major Christian DiCesare. So yeah, chances are you’re going to get on this list if you’re good at working with numbers.

To qualify for the award, a player must be an Academic All-Big Ten selection, be a full-time season for all of the previous academic year and have at least a 3.70 GPA during that academic year, excluding summer grades. The Big Ten gives out this honor for student-athletes in every sport it has teams for. As Notre Dame only is in the conference for hockey, this is the only opportunity for the university to be represented on this list.

A struggling Notre Dame needed a spark against Wisconsin on Saturday, and it came from Alex Steeves. The sophomore forward scored a power-play goal to open the Irish’s scoring, then collected three assists for a career-high four points in a 5-2 win.

Notre Dame (11-4-4, 6-7-3-2) got back to .500 by going 3 for 7 on the power play. Aside from Steeves’ tally, Cal Burke got what proved to be the game-winning goal, and Michael Graham made it a 4-2 advantage midway through the third period. The special teams did allow a shorthanded goal to Roman Ahcan, but it merely was a footnote in the end. An even-strength goal from Charlie Raith, and an empty-netter from Tory Dello.

One night after not lasting to the end of the game, Cale Morris bounced back with a 35-save performance. Eight of those saves came in a first period in which neither team scored. Jack Berry had 32 saves for the Badgers.
