The winger's nine goals are tied for fourth in the ECAC.
Fallstrom has skated in 113 games at the ECAC level, compiling 33 goals and 37 assists good for 70 points in his four-year college career. Prior to Harvard, Fallstrom attended Shattuck-St. Mary's High School and tallied 60 goals and 74 assists for 134 points in 114 games.
