Augustine Earns Big Ten Star Honors

East Lansing, Mich. -- Freshman netminder Trey Augustine (South Lyon, Mich.) has earned Big Ten Second Star of the Week honors after backstopping Michigan State to its first-ever Big Ten regular-season title.

Augustine earns a weekly honor for the fourth time this season, tied for the most of any player in the league. He stopped 80 of the 85 shots he faced last weekend against Wisconsin, including 44 in Friday's 5-2 victory that sealed MSU's regular-season crown. The 44 saves tied his season best, originally established against Minnesota on Nov. 24.

Augustine is one of 10 finalists for the Mike Richter Award, and is putting together one of the finest seasons for any collegiate goalie in 2023-24. He ranks third nationally in saves (979) and his saves percentage (.917) is 17^th. His average of 31.6 saves per game – and has not made fewer than 25 saves in any complete game this season. The youngest goaltender in Division I hockey, Augustine has won 20 games between the pipes for MSU – one of just six goalies nationally to reach the mark and the first at MSU since All-American Jeff Lerg in 2007-08. His three shutouts rank fifth nationally, and all three whitewashes have come on the road in Big Ten play – at Ohio State (Nov. 3), at Penn State (Jan. 12), and at Notre Dame (Feb.3).

Augustine and the Spartans have earned the bye week as the Big Ten Champions, and will next host a Big Ten semifinal next Saturday (March 16) at Munn Ice Arena.
