He finished with three asissts on Saturday, helping on two of Bruno Idzan's three goals on Saturday, Oct. 31.
The junior forward went scoreless through three games, but has three consecutive multi-point games since and shares second on the team with seven points. He has also been dominant in the face off circle, succeeding at a 71.3 percent clip (87-35).
This marks Morrissey's second Big Ten honor after receiving preseason All-Big Ten Second-Team honors. He last earned a star on March 10, 2026, after totaling two goals and an assist in a sweep of then-No. 6 Penn State.
