HOUGHTON — The CCHA announced its all-conference teams, and the Michigan Tech Huskies had three players honored. Senior forward Stiven Sardarian was a unanimous choice on the All-CCHA First Team and was joined by alternate captain Jack Anderson.

Alternate captain Max Koskipirtti was named to the All-CCHA Second Team.

Sardarian led the CCHA with 32 points on 10 goals and a league-high 22 assists. Posting a plus-9 rating, he had 46 shots on goal, nine blocks, two power-play tallies and two game-winning goals.

Averaging 18:21 minutes per contest in conference play, he produced nine multi-point games, including a four-point contest (two goals, two assists) in an 8-2 victory over Northern Michigan on Jan. 23.

Sardarian has skated in 36 games in his second season with the Huskies and tallied 12 goals and 32 assists. He ranks fourth in the nation in assists and ninth in points. Sardarian tallied his 100th NCAA point on March 7 and is now tied with Brian Halonen for the most points by a Tech player since Tanner Kero’s 46 in 2014-15.

Anderson, a senior, played in all 26 conference games for Michigan Tech this season, averaging 23:07 minutes per game, which ranked fifth among CCHA defensemen. His 48 blocked shots ranked seventh and he was a plus-11, which was second-best.

Scoring six goals and dishing out 11 assists for 17 points, he had a five-game goal streak, which is the second longest in the nation in over 20 years. He blocked at least one shot in 20 games and had five blocks in a game twice.

He skated in all 38 games in his lone season with the Huskies and has tallied 11 goals and 13 assists. He ranks fourth in the nation in goals by a defenseman.

Koskipirtti, a junior forward, played in all 26 conference games for Tech, scoring 10 goals with 16 assists for 26 points, which was good for sixth-most in the league. Also fifth in plus-minus at plus-11, he had three power-play goals and three game winners, with 45 shots and 20 blocks.

Averaging 18:58 minutes per game, he won 50.2% of his 526 faceoffs, while being assessed just two minor penalties for four minutes.

Koskipirtti has a career-best 35 points (13 goals, 22 assists) in 38 games in his third season with the Huskies. He ranks 11th in the nation in faceoff wins and is 16th nationally with four game-winning goals.
