San Jose native, Jr. Sharks grad Laubach garners weekly Big Ten accolades
Penn State sophomore Reese Laubach has been named Big Ten Hockey’s Third Star of the Week for his performances against No. 9 Ohio State over the weekend.
Laubach earns his second career Big Ten weekly award and first of the year.
The San Jose native paced the Nittany Lions to a four-point weekend against the Buckeyes with a shootout win and overtime victory registering back-to-back multi-point efforts and finishing the series with one goal and a trio of assists.
Laubach notched a pair of helpers in a 6-6 tie and shootout win on Friday before registering the primary assist on the game opening goal on Saturday and capping off the weekend with the overtime game-winning goal in a 3-2 victory in front of a record-setting crowd of 6,604 on Saturday night.
After missing the previous four games with an injury before returning last weekend, Laubach now stands tied for second on the team with 19 points in 20 games on nine goals and 10 assists, just one goal and two assists shy of his freshman year totals.
Back home, Laubach starred with the San Jose Jr. Sharks.
