SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – The Union College women's ice hockey team continues its four-game homestand as well as its ECAC Hockey schedule this weekend, facing Brown on Nov. 13 at 7 p.m., followed by Yale on the next day at 4 p.m. Fans who can't make the game can watch the game live through video and stats.
The Dutchwomen (2-7-0, 0-4-0 ECACH) will not only be concluding the homestand this weekend and six consecutive conference games, but will have a week off from action.
The Dutchwomen saw a strong performance by sophomore goaltender Kate Gallagher. Gallagher made two starts last weekend against No. 10 Cornell and Colgate, respectively. In those two days, Gallagher combined 72 saves, 38 against Cornell, a team season-high, and 34 against Colgate. Gallagher has made nine career appearances, three of them were starts, and she has a 2.24 goal-against average and a .936 save percentage.
One of the biggest moments of the game against Colgate was Union's performance killing penalties. While nine penalties were committed, Colgate took 17 shots in those spans, but Gallagher and the Dutchwomen defense were successful in preventing the Raiders from scoring. It was one of the Dutchwomen's best performances on the season when killing penalties.
