For the fourth time this season, senior goaltender Jackie MacMillan has been named the Western Collegiate Hockey Association's Defensive Player of the Week.
MacMillan stopped 42 of 44 shots in helping Wisconsin to a road sweep at Ohio State last weekend. The Buffalo, Minn., native stopped 11 of 12 shots in the Badgers' 7-1 victory in just under two and one-half periods of action. MacMillan also collected two assists in the contest, including the primary assist on a UW breakaway goal.
This season, MacMillan is 20-6-5 with a 1.86 goals-against average and .916 save percentage.
Wisconsin senior Kevin Black, the wrestling team co-captain and a 2002 All-American at 133 pounds, will not participate in the 2003 Big Ten Conference Wrestling Championships. The meet, held at the University of Wisconsin Field House March 8-9, is the qualifying tournament for the 2003 NCAA Wrestling Championships.
Black sustained a knee injury during a dual meet against Michigan State and will undergo a minor surgical procedure for the injury, but will be unable to return in time for the tourney.
