Mercyhurst University Athletics

Wildung led the men's hockey team to a semifinal upset win over top-seeded Robert Morris in the opening game on Friday at the Blue Cross Arena with a 59-save performance as Mercyhurst won in overtime by a 4-3 final … he had 57 saves through regulation and then stopped two more in overtime to help the Lakers advance to the Atlantic Hockey Championship for the second time in three years … his 57 saves at the end of regulation would have been a conference tournament record had the game not gone to overtime (52 by Connecticut’s Brad Smith against Sacred Heart on March 11, 2006) … the 59 saves was an Atlantic Hockey Championship Weekend record and was four shy of Mercyhurst’s Ryan Zapolski playoff record of 63 saves against Canisius on March 13, 2010 … he followed that up with a 31-save performance in the championship game on Saturday against RIT … he finished the two games with 90 saves and was named the All-Tournament Team goaltender
