The NA3HL announced Tuesday that El Paso Rhinos forward Noah Easterson has been named the South Division Star of the Week.

Easterson and the Rhinos faced a busy week with three games, but the 2003-born sniper’s goal-scoring prowess shone with four goals in that span.

After scoring his fifth goal in as many games on a heated rivalry matchup against Oklahoma City on Friday, Easterson was held off the scoresheet in the rematch with the Blazers, but rebounded with a hat trick against the Texas RoadRunners on Sunday, grabbing the game-winning goal in El Paso’s victory.

The rookie forward from Canyon Country is now up to 10 goals and 18 points in 23 games on the year.

Easterson skated for the Anaheim Jr. Ducks during his youth career.
