On Saturday, the winningest goaltender in NCAA tournament history was named the Most Outstanding Player of the 1998 tournament at the FleetCenter in Boston. Michigan senior Marty Turco turned in a 28-save performance in a 3-2 overtime win over Boston College in the title game after making 19 saves to earn a shutout against New Hampshire in Thursday’s semifinal.<\/p>\n

The two victories give the Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., native a total of nine in NCAA tournament games, moving him past Wisconsin’s Marc Behrend (1981-83) and Duane Derksen (1990-92) and Lake Superior State’s Darrin Madeley (1990-92), each of whom have seven.<\/p>\n

Michigan coach Red Berenson heaped praise on the man who also backstopped Michigan to the national title in 1996.<\/p>\n

“This season was his biggest test — he had four freshman on defense. This was the true test of Marty Turco. Has he passed the test? I would say, ‘No question.’ I think he is a great college goalie.”<\/p>\n

Turco was both brilliant and lucky in facing 13 Boston College attempted shots in overtime. Just 30 seconds in, Turco made a great pad save on Brian Gionta, who broke in through two defenders, and eight minutes later he survived a scare when Jamie O’Leary broke through. O’Leary’s shot hit the underside of the crossbar and landed in the crease under Turco.<\/p>\n

Turco, who also holds the NCAA record for career victories with 127, said of his selection by members of the media, “It’s a great honor. But I’d trade [the award] in order to play another year at Michigan. I didn’t do anything spectacular. My defense played unbelievable.”<\/p>\n

He was joined on the all-tournament team by Michigan’s Mark Kosick, Josh Langfeld and Bubba Berenzweig, and Boston College’s Marty Reasoner and Mike Mottau.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
