Kinkopf finished the week with three goals, as the Polar Bears defeated Otterbein 3-2 in double overtime on Wednesday and Marietta 6-1 on Saturday.

On Tuesday against Otterbein, Kinkopf scored at the 101:06 mark of the second overtime to cap off a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory.

Against Marietta on Saturday, Kinkopf would score his first goal of the afternoon by beating the keeper to the top right.
