Wayne State University freshman center Stavros Paskaris (Dearborn, Mich./Kewadin Indians) has been selected College Hockey America Rookie of the Week for the first time this season.

The conference's top-scoring newcomer, Paskaris recorded four points on two goals and two assists in WSU's three-point weekend (win and a tie) against visiting Air Force this past Saturday and Sunday at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth.

In Saturday's 5-1 triumph, he assisted on Adam Krug's short-handed goal in the first period, scored the eventual game-winning goal on the power play in the second period, while also assisting on Jason Bloomingburg's third period power-play goal.

His goal on Sunday tied the score at one, in a 3-3 overtime draw.

Paskaris finished the weekend with a +3 plus/minus rating along with six shots on goal.

Wayne State concludes the regular season with two home games against Alabama-Huntsville this Saturday (3:05 p.m.) and Sunday (2:05 p.m.) at the Compuware Sports Arena in Plymouth.
