Nationally, Nagle presently ranks fifth among the national statistical leaders in goals-against average, eighth in save percentage, and tied for 27th place in winning percentage (.583).
Redmond, a defenseman, currently leads Ferris State in scoring with a squad-best 12 points on five goals and seven assists in 13 contests this season. The 2010-11 Bulldog team captain has recorded 21 blocked shots, three power-play goals, two game-winning tallies, and a plus four efficiency rating.
Ferris State, which presently is 9-7-3 overall with a fourth-place 6-6-3-2 CCHA ledger this campaign, will participate in the University of Minnesota's Mariucci Classic this weekend (Dec. 31-Jan. 1) in Minneapolis, Minn.
