HUNTERSVILLE, NC (February 27, 2024) – The SPHL announced today that goaltenders Brent Moran and Kevin Resop of the Quad City Storm have been named the Warrior/SPHL Co-Players of the Week for February 19-25.
Combining for a 1.67 goals against average, a 0.958 save percentage, and one shutout against Fayetteville, the tandem led the Storm to their first-ever three-game sweep. Quad City has a 7-3-0 record over their last 10 games and sit just one point back of fifth-place Huntsville.
On Friday, Moran got the start between the pipes and collected the first of his two victories for the week, holding Fayetteville to one goal while stopping 34 shots in the Storm’s 4-1 victory. Moran would once again lead the Storm to victory on Saturday, stopping 39 shots in a 5-4 victory over the Marksmen.
