Mottau, a Hobey Baker Award candidate, began his three-game scoring streak on Oct. 10 in the championship game of the Ice Breaker Cup against St. Lawrence. Mottau notched two assists in the 3-2 victory. His defensive effort, in addition to his offensive output, helped Mottau earn All-Tournament honors.
This past weekend (Oct. 30-31) the Eagles captured two victories over UMass-Lowell. In BCs HOCKEY EAST opener, Mottau registered two assists in a 7-3 win. The next night, Mottau assisted on the first four goals in a 6-4 victory at Lowell. Five of Mottaus six weeekend assists came on the power play. He leads the team with eight points.
Mottau earned All-America second-team honors last winter after leading the nations defensemen in scoring (13-36-49). He and the Eagles return to action on Friday, November 6 at 7 p.m. when they host Notre Dame in Chestnut Hill.
