Senior Jordan Simoneau of Marian University NCAA men’s hockey and junior Brenna Schiekiera of Marian University women’s bowling have been named the Sabres of the Month for November.

Simoneau (Tisdale, Sask.) had a solid month of November that saw him record eight points over six games.  He recorded at least one point in all but one game during the month and had three multi-point efforts.  Simoneau helped lead Marian to its first ever win against Augsburg with his first multi-goal game of the season.  He then posted a three-point weekend against Dubuque later in the week to earn an NCHA Star of the Week award.  In the finale against the Spartans, he had his second multi-goal game of the week.  He closed out the month with a three-point weekend against St. Norbert where he posted his third multi-point performance of the month with a pair of assists.  The five-game point streak comes after he opened the season with three games where he didn’t record a point.  Simoneau is currently third on the team for scoring after his strong month.

Schiekiera (Waukesha, Wis.) was the top bowler for the Sabres during the month of November competing in a pair of events.  She opened the month finishing 42nd, third on the team, at the SFA Ladyjack Classic after averaging 183.4 pins over five games.  She opened the event with a 245 in her first game.  She then had a dominating weekend on the lanes to lead Marian to a 7-0 record at the first CCIW Event of the season.  Schiekiera led all bowlers in the field after averaging 232.0 over five game.  Her most notable game came in the final traditional game of the event where she bowled the first 300 game in program history.  She was also the lone bowler in the field with three games above 200 pins.  This performance also earned her CCIW Bowler of the Week recognition.

Marian NCAA men’s hockey opens a series at No. 15 Trine tonight, Friday, December 1, at 6 p.m. (CST).  The Sabre women’s bowling team is also in action this weekend at the UWW Warhawk Open December 2-3.
