LANCASTER, Pa. – Senior defenseman Andrew Horn (Bronxville, N.Y./Avon Old Farms) was named the Centennial Conference Defensive Player of the Week after leading Gettysburg College to a thrilling opening-season victory over the weekend.
 
Horn helped 12th-ranked Gettysburg (1-0) stave off defeat with a sterling fourth-quarter defensive performance in a 9-7 victory at Dickinson. The Bullets blanked the Red Devils in the final period while running off a game-ending five-goal run. Horn scooped ground balls on back-to-back face-offs that resulted in the final two goals of the game and knocked the ball out of the stick of a Dickinson player in the game's final seconds. He finished with team highs in ground balls (5) and caused turnovers (2).
