MILWAUKEE - Senior Colby Muise and freshman Noah Pickart of Marian University NCAA men's hockey have earned All-NCHA recognition.

Muise (Yarmouth, N.S.) closes out a spectacular career earning All-NCHA honors, the first Sabre to earn All-NCHA recognition since 2019-20.  He finished the season 9-12-2 with a 3.11 goals-against average, and .903 save percentage.  His 663 saves on the season were good for second in the conference, and he logged the most minutes of any goaltender in the NCHA this season at 1,369:53.  Muise stopped at least 30 shots 11 times this season, including the final three games of the season, with a season-best 43 coming in a 5-2 road win over No. 1 Adrian.  The victory over the Bulldogs was the first known Marian win over the top-ranked team in the nation and snapped a 35-game unbeaten streak for Adrian.  Muise would earn four NCHA Defensive Player of the Week awards this season.  The 2021 NCHA Harris Cup Tournament MVP closes out his career sixth all-time for wins (28), fourth for total saves (1,830), fifth for shutouts (5), and fourth for save percentage (.911).

Pickart (Fond du Lac, Wis.) made an immediate impact on the Sabre defense earning All-NCHA Freshman accolades.  He played in just 14 games this season but finished the year with two goals and 11 assists for 13 total points, good for 10th in the NCHA for defenseman scoring.  He posted four multi-point games this season and closed out the year with eight of his points in the final six games.  Pickart posted a three-assist game on the road at Lake Forest to clinch the No. 6 seed for the Sabres in the NCHA Harris Cup Playoffs.
