Men´s hockey senior forward Dan Kerluke.

Dan Kerluke led Maine’s sweep of UMass-Amherst with four goals on the weekend. Maine got a much-needed four points last weekend and went ahead of UMass-Lowell in the Hockey East standings to take fourth place. On Friday, Maine trailed 2-0 in the third period. After a Robert Liscak goal, Kerluke tied the game and scored the game winner in overtime. Kerluke added two more goals on Sunday’s 5-1 win over UMass. Kerluke got some help from his skates on the weekend. After being prompted by his teammates, Kerluke changed the part of his skates that holds the blades from white to black. He wore the black ones during his sophomore season, the year he scored the most goals (23) in his career and the year Maine won the national championship. Kerluke was also named the Hockey East Player of the Week.
