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.

Notre Dame Hockey: Irish Battle Badgers, Lose War

Notre Dame showed more life Friday against Wisconsin than it has lately, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 6-4 loss. The Irish (10-11-4, 5-7-3-2) fell victim to Cole Caulfield’s hat trick, which, coupled with 29 saves for Jack Berry, made the …

Notre Dame showed more life Friday against Wisconsin than it has lately, but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 6-4 loss. The Irish (10-11-4, 5-7-3-2) fell victim to Cole Caulfield’s hat trick, which, coupled with 29 saves for Jack Berry, made the difference for the Badgers (10-12-1, 5-9-1-1).

Seven players have multiple points in this game, including Colin Theisen (one goal, two assists), Mike O’Leary (one goal, one assist) and Spencer Stastney (two assists). And with three power-play goals between the teams, there was no shortage of opportunities for players to pad their stats.

Cale Morris made 19 saves but was pulled for Ryan Bischel after allowing what turned out to be the game-winning goal from Max Zimmer on a Wisconsin power play. Cal Burke got the Irish within one with his own power-play tally, but they never got closer. The closest they got after that was when Trevor Janicke hit the crossbar on yet another man advantage late in the third period. Ugh.
