Loewen shared a Conference Carolinas player of the year honour with fellow Limestone College teammate Shayne Jackson last season.

The junior attack tied for ninth in the nation in scoring with 54 goals and 74 points. He was third nationally in both points (4.35) and goals (3.18) per game.

Loewen has garnered 82 goals and 111 total points in just 30 games in his university career.

Last season, Decker had a recordsetting year that led to the program's first-ever Tewarraton Award nomination and a national Div. II player of the year mention.

Decker led the country with 4.82 points and 2.94 assists per game, while finishing with 32 goals and a single-season program record 50 helpers.

A three-year letter winner, Decker was named a first team All-American, first team All-Conference Carolinas and conference tournament MVP.
