At Dartmouth: One of the Big Green's top penalty killers and strongest skaters, Giedt has made his mark in the Ivy League as one of the most tenacious players. Last season, Giedt netted four goals and added two assists while keeping opposing power play units at bay. Giedt had a three game goal scoring streak (2/7-2/14), netting a goal in each contest. In his freshman season, Giedt appeared in 25 games, scoring five goals and two assists. His shorthanded goal against Yale was the only man-down tally by the Big Green all season. His first career goal was recorded in unusual fashion at Union when his third-period shot from the blue line deflected in front of the net and bounced off the back of the goalie before crossing the goal line. High School: Giedt was MVP of the 1994 North Dakota State Championship when he scored two goals and notched an assist in leading his team to a 4-2 victory in the title game. He also lettered three years in football and track and as the quarterback led his high school to a perfect 12-0 record and the state title as a senior. Personal: Morgan Freeman is Matt's favorite actor and his favorite movie is The Shawshank Redemption, which Freeman co-starred in. In his spare time, Matt enjoys golfing and reading and his favorite book is Pat Conroy's "Lords of Discipline." |
