Mike Barrett: The freshman goaltender is having a phenomenal rookie campaign as he shares the net with senior Matt Schnoes. Barrett has put up a 10-0 record, including 3 shutouts, one of which was against the #3 team in the country, and played 602;47 so far this season while maintaining a 1.39 goals against average and an astounding .953 save percentage, which is the best in the country.

Brad Kobryn: It’s hard to make a list of impactful players and not include the junior forward. Kobryn not only leads the team in goals this season with 20, but has outscored every single player to ever play for Adrian College.

The girls of WACHA are on a roll this season, sweeping five straight opponents including the #1 ranked and reigning National Champions the Miami Redhawks.

WACHA ends the semester with a 12-1-0-1 record, scoring 50 goals in 14 games. Through the season, WACHA is doing a goal-a-thon for the Wounded Warrior Project and is still taking pledges for donations for each goal scored this season. You can make your pledge here.
