Colgate senior forward Austin Smith, who leads ECAC Hockey in goals and points, was named the Fischer-Hockey Player of the Month for November after 10 points in seven games.

Smith had an incredible month with eight goals and two assists. His goals also meant something as three were game-winners and three came shorthanded. He had more shorthanded goals in the month, then Colgate had all of last season and more than any other team in the league this year. He recorded his second career hat trick against Quinnipiac on Nov. 18 and then followed that will two more scores against Princeton the next night.

He had three multi-point games in the month and had points in 6-of-7 games and has scored at least one point in five-straight games. He is tied for the nation's lead in goals with 15 and is sixth in points with 21. He has been named player of the week twice this year.

The Raiders are back in conference play this weekend with Clarkson and St. Lawrence coming to Hamilton for two 7 p.m. starts.
