Atlantic Hockey announced today that Air Force freshman forward Clayton Cosentino is the AHA Rookie of the Week.

Cosentino recorded a career-best three points in the Falcons’ series with Army West Point this past weekend.

The San Carlos, Calif., native registered two points on a goal and an assist in Friday’s series opener and picked up a helper in Saturday’s overtime win over the Black Knights. Cosentino led the Falcons with 22 faceoff wins in the series and won 56.4 percent of his draws.

On Friday, his goal cut the Army lead to two late in the second period. On Saturday, he forced a turnover in the Army end and had the lone assist on Air Force’s first goal.

He is Air Force’s top freshman scorer on the season with 15 points on four goals and 11 assists and leads Air Force with 248 faceoff wins this season while winning 59 percent of his draws.

This is his first AHA weekly honor this season.

During his youth career in Colorado, Cosentino played for the Colorado Rampage.
