Sacred Heart senior defenseman Hunter Sansbury has been named Atlantic Hockey America Defenseman of the Month for the month of November.

It is Sansbury’s fourth career selection as the league’s Defenseman of the Month.

The Lomita native played in all 10 November games as the Pioneers went 5-4-1 in the second month of the season, tallying nine points on three goals and six assists along the way. He blocked a team-best 18 shots, recorded 24 shots of his own, went plus-4, scored one power-play goal and added a game-winning goal for good measure. 

Sansbury opened the month with a three-assist weekend against Bentley on Nov. 1-2, and later had six points (3-3-6) across a four-game point streak from Nov. 9-22.

On the season, Sansbury has registered 11 points (4-7-11) through 16 games. He has blocked a league-leading 39 shots.

Back home, Sansbury played for the Los Angeles Jr. Kings.
