ROCHESTER, N.Y. – RIT junior goaltender Tommy Scarfone was named the Atlantic Hockey Goaltender of the Month, Thursday. 

• Scarfone compiled a .950 save percentage and a 1.55 goals against average along with two shutouts in seven January appearances.
• He made a career-high 46 saves to preserve a 1-1 tie opposite St. Lawrence (Jan. 6) and 33 saves during a 4-0 shutout of Clarkson (Jan. 7) en route to his league-best fourth Atlantic Hockey Goaltender of the Week recognition of the season.
• Scarfone also combined to stop 44 of 45 shots faced in a two-game sweep of Bentley (Jan. 26-27) last week, including a 3-0 victory for his eighth career shutout - the most among active AHA goaltenders.
• The Montreal native ended the month ranked second nationally (first among goaltenders who have played more than half their team's minutes) with a .932 save percentage and tied for fourth in wins with a 15-7-1 record, while his 2.15 GAA ranked seventh.
• Also named the conference's top goaltender for October, Scarfone has won the monthly award three times during his career, along with nine AHA Goaltender of the Week honors the last three seasons. 

RIT plays an Atlantic Hockey home-and-home series with Niagara this coming week, hitting the road for a 7:05 p.m. faceoff tonight before returning home on Saturday (Feb. 3) to host the Purple Eagles at 5:05 p.m.
