    Dave,

    Didn't Denny Urban also set a school record for a defenseman scoring points in regular season? I think Jeff Gilbert, aka Bobby Orr Jr, had 16 points one year but cannot think off hand if anyone else has put up that many points in a season from the backline.

    I can't believe that I forgot our good friend Jake Sparks..aka Sparky, had 18 points one season leading all defensemen. I'm sorry Jake!

    I believe that is correct. I thumbed through the media guide, as well as the stats on collegehockeystats.net and the most points prior to Urban's 21 this season was Jake Sparks. Good look.
