Freshman netminder Simon Latkoczy earned a share of this week's NCHC Goaltender of the Week with UND's Drew DeRidder. In two games played, Latkoczy had 60 saves and went 1-0-0 with a 1.20 GAA, .968 save% and a 40-save shutout in Saturday's contest against the then No. 9 Western Michigan Broncos. The 40-save performance was a career high for the Omaha newcomer against the NCAA's highest scoring offense (4.37 GPG).

The Broncos had the 8th ranked power play in the NCAA coming into the weekend. On Saturday, Latkoczy and the Mavericks held the Broncos scoreless in two power play attempts (8 shots).

The Trencin, Slovakia native has pitched back-to-back shutouts in his last two starts for the Mavericks. In each of his last nine appearances, he has allowed two goals or less. In those nine games, Latkoczy has allowed only 10 goals and registered a 1.15 GAA, .956 save% and two shutouts. For the 2022-23 campaign, the Freshman Maverick is 7-2-0 with a 1.82 GAA and .932 save%.

Latkoczy is the sixth member of the Mavericks to earn NCHC weekly accolades. He joins forwards Ray Fust (Week 15) and Matt Miller (Week 9), blueliners Jacob Guevin (Week 16), Jonny Tychonick (Week 9) and netminder Jake Kucharski (Week 3, 9).

Latkoczy and the Mavericks are idle this weekend before jumping back into NCHC play against Colorado College in a two-game home series on February 10th and 11th.
