UNO freshman goalie Simon Latkoczy’s second period save in the March 3 game at North Dakota is the #4 play in the NCHC Top Plays of the Week – March 6, 2023. 

The save came with 13:04 left in the second period. Latkoczy’s effort on the play thwarted North Dakota forward Gavin Hain’s attempt in front of the crease (off of a backhand feed from UND forward Jake Schmaltz). 

UND was up 2-1 in the contest at that point. The Mavericks went on to lose the game 5-4 in OT. 

Latkoczy currently has a 2.25 goals-against average (GAA) and a .920 save percentage (SV%) for Omaha. 

His GAA currently has him tied for 15th best among all NCAA goaltenders and his SV% currently has him tied for 11th best. 

Among NCHC goaltenders, Latkoczy’s GAA is currently second best in the conference (behind DU’s Magnus Chrona) and his SV% is currently second best (behind CC’s Kaidan Mbereko).
