Westley Hankes -- Defense -- Sophomore -- Edgerton, Wis. / Edgerton

Hankes was a key piece on UW-Platteville's back line this week, as the Pioneers posted a pair of shutouts with a scoreless draw and a 7-0 win over UW-Stout. The Vikings managed just five total shots (two on goal) in the 0-0 draw, while the Blue Devils finished with two late shots (both on goal) when the game was out of reach. Hankes also scored one of the Pioneers seven goals on Saturday, as his goal in the 52nd minute increased the lead to 3-0.
