OXFORD, Ohio - Following a big weekend sweep of Notre Dame, Miami sophomore Andy Miele was named the CCHA Offensive Player of Week.

Miele found his way to the score sheet for the first time this season in the two game set against Notre Dame. Miele did all but score this weekend for the RedHawks as he got his first point of the season in game one when he weaved through two players and left it in front of the net for Pat Cannone. Miele then picked off a Notre Dame clear attempt and found Steffes in the slot to give Miami a two-goal lead. The next night, Miele fired a shot from the left faceoff circle and was credited with a goal until a review showed that Gary Steffes made a tip in front and earned the goal.  
The conference honor is the second conference honor of Miele’s career as he earned Rookie of the Week honors in the final week of the regular season after posting a goal and three assists against Ohio State.

The RedHawks return home this weekend to take on the Alaska Nanoonks Friday Oct. 31 and Saturday Nov. 1. Both games are at 7:05 p.m. and will be televised on the Ohio News Network.
