Just a few days after Minnesota State received a commitment from defenseman Mat Knoll, it picked up another as goalie Stephon Williams committed to play for the Mavericks on Monday, according to Chris Heisenberg.
Williams, a 17-year-old '93 birthdate, appears to be an extremely solid find for MSU. The young netminder currently plays in the United States Hockey League for the Sioux Falls Stampede.
In 23 games played, the Alaska native has gone 14-3 with a .915 save-percentage, allowing just 2.37 goals over that stretch. Williams tallied a 7-1 record, in January, while only allowing one goal in five of those games -- all of which turned into wins for the Stampede. The lone loss occurred in a 5-4 overtime heartbreaker in Sioux City on January 4.
The 6-foot-1, 188-pound, standout is ranked No. 32 among North American goalies by NHL Central Scouting, according to the 2011 Mid-Term Report.
I haven't had the opportunity to see him play, but I'm hoping to make a trip to Sioux Falls sometime in the near future in order to do so.
