The reigning NEC Defensive Player of the Year led SFU to its fifth and sixth consecutive victories. Waldspurger anchored a defense that allowed defending NEC regular season champion Wagner to just five shots with three coming on target in the Red Flash’s 3-0 shutout of the Seahawks. The Hatfield, PA native also helped SFU to hold Lock Haven to just four total shots and two on goal. Waldspurger was able to limit opponents’ opportunities on goal by keeping them towards front of the shooting circle and away from the cage. SFU’s shutout against Wagner was its sixth of the year. During their six-game win streak, the Red Flash have conceded just three goals through the 360 minutes of play and are off to their second-best start in program history at 9-3. Additionally, SFU has allowed just two goals in conference play as the program is 4-0 against NEC opponents, which is its best league start since 2012. The Red Flash defense has been tenacious so far this season as they have now claimed three of 2025’s six NEC Defensive Player of the Week awards.
