(Maryland) have been splitting time this spring, often rotating who gets the first and second halves. Down in Maryland, Budington was particularly excellent, only allowing nine goals while making a whopping 37 saves, meaning he stopped 87 percent of the shots on cage across three halves of play. In addition, the timeliness of his saves stood out, with three of his seven first-half saves against Severn coming in man-down situations. He had a few saves with his body against the Admirals, but when he got his stick on shots, he always made a clean save and then led the clear with poise, tossing precise outlets and showing outstanding command outside of the crease. Viewed as somewhat of a sleeper during the recruiting process, Budington is a great pickup for the Wolverines, and all he’s done is get better and make the most of each opportunity he’s earned.
