Shannon O’Neil Named ECAC East Goaltender of the Week
Sophomore blanks Holy Cross Saturday night
RINDGE, N.H. (February 10, 2015) – Sophomore
goaltender Shannon O'Neil (Tewksbury, Mass.) of
the Franklin Pierce University women's ice hockey team has been
named ECAC East Goaltender of the Week, for the week ending on Feb.
8, as announced Monday afternoon by the Conference office.
O'Neil was perfect in her one start last week, fending off all 30 shots Holy Cross put on her goal in a 2-0 Franklin Pierce win. It was her second shutout of the season, as well as the third of her career. It was also her fourth outing of 30 saves of more this season, two of which have come against the Crusaders.
On the season, O'Neil has made 10 starts for the Ravens, who have gone 6-3-1 with her in net. She has made 244 saves against 257 shots to post a 1.29 goals-against average and a .949 save percentage.
The Ravens (15-5-1, 9-4-0 ECAC East) return to the ice on Friday, Feb. 13, when they remain home to host Plymouth State in an ECAC East contest. Opening faceoff is set for 8:30 p.m. at Jason Ritchie Ice Arena in Winchendon.
