Frank Fedorjaka on Baran: "Matt has put it all together and become a top-notch Division I goalie. He has always been a guy who could have a great game or make an acrobatic save. He still does those things, but he has also become a much more consistent performer. Matt is very athletic and active in the goal, and he is very effective clearing the ball. He is one of the fastest players on the team." |
