Harriger scored two goals and added three assists in two games last week to help Shippensburg clinch the PSAC regular season title and its first playoff berth since 1996. In the first game of the week after trailing 3-0 at Felician, Shippensburg rallied for a 4-3 overtime win. Harriger scored the team's second goal of the game and added an assist on the overtime game-winning goal by teammate Michael Celius. In the final game of the week in a must-win situation, Shippensburg trailed 2-1 in the second half against California and needed just a point to reach the postseason. Harriger took over in the second half as he had a hand in three unanswered goals, all in a 6:35 span. He added an assist on teammate Derrick Roy's goal that tied the score, and soon after, added another on a cross to Simon Neubauer that gave the Red Raiders the lead. Shortly thereafter he added a goal off a header, which proved to be the eventual game-winner. Shippensburg is 13-5 on the season, reeling off 10 consecutive victories to claim the No. 1 seed in the conference playoffs.
