A graduate of Southern High School, she carries a 0.31 goals against average and a .927 save percentage, with six shutouts and one combined shutout. She has made 38 saves and allowed just three goals, including a penalty kick.

The Engineers (8-2; 1-1 Liberty League) are back in action on Wednesday, when they host Rutgers-Camden at East Campus Stadium (4pm). RPI is home to Vassar for a critical Liberty League contest on Saturday (5pm).
