Babson College Beavers‘ sophomore goaltender Nate Mueller(31) has already started 4 games this season with a 2-2 record, but there was no win more important than the 3-1 victory over the 2023 D3 Championship Hobart College Statesmen, who also happened to shut out their previous opponents including a 10-0 tilt the previous evening.

The 23-year old from Framingham, MA is definitely playing some quality ice time.
