Dustin Fulton
Hamline University junior forward Dustin Fulton (Brooklyn Park, Minn.) has been named the MIAC men's hockey athlete of the week after leading the Pipers to the championship, the conference office announced today.

Last weekend, he led the Pipers to their first MIAC championship in 60 years by scoring six points on two goals and four assists in a sweep of Saint John's.

In Friday's 4-1 win, Fulton scored the opening goal of the game, and provided an assist. On Saturday at Saint John's, in a come-from-behind victory after trailing 3-0 at the end of the first period, Fulton provided a trio of assists on consecutive Piper goals in the second period before scoring the game-winner in the third period.

Fulton finishes the regular season as the leading point scorer in the MIAC (2.00 points per game) and the leading goal scorer (0.88 goals per game). He is third in the conference in assists (1.12 assists per game). He also leads the conference in power play points (1.12 per game) and is second in power play goals (0.38 per game).

The Pipers will host either Saint John's or Gustavus, who play this Thursday in a first round playoff game, on Saturday, March 1 at 7:15 p.m. at Drake Arena.
