Now Kirst is coming off one heck of a year where he finished with 179 saves in 13 games, while allowing 137 total goals, which equals out to a save percentage of 56.6% which ranks as the 11th best save percentage in the country last season.
Kirst also helped guide the team to a 9-4 record overall, which was good enough for the team's first NCAA Tournament birth since 2004 and landed their first tournament win since 1990, taking down Lehigh by a final score of 12-5.
