ADRIAN, Mich. -- The Adrian College Men's ACHA Division 1 hockey team put together a strong defensive effort to sweep the Calvin University Knights over the weekend, in a two-game set, winning 4-1 on Thursday night, before shutting out the Knights, 5-0, on the road Saturday evening. With the wins, the Bulldogs clinched their seventh consecutive GLCHL Regular Season Championship, the eleventh in program history.

Forward Sam Spaedt would then find the back of the net twice in the second period, giving the Bulldogs an eventual 3-1 lead after two. The Bulldogs then capitalized on a five minute powerplay in the final ten minutes of the game, as forward Tyler Fyfe potted his 18^th of the season to secure the 4-1 victory. Goaltender Noah Decottignies made 15 saves for the Bulldogs in the winning effort.

Saturday's contest saw the Bulldogs carry over their solid efforts from game one, diminishing the Knights once again, this time without giving up a goal against. Sam Spaedt, Matteo DiGiulio, Dakota Bohn, Connor Smith and Brenden Stanko provided the Adrian tallies, while Decottignies earned his third shutout victory of the season.
