The sophomore has scored at least one goal in six of the Eagles' 11 games this season. He has gotten the team on the board first five times in 2017 while scoring goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation in wins against LMU and Catawba this week.
Karlsen leads the team and conference in points (23) and goals (11). His five game-winning goals are a team-best.
