For her two wins against then-No. 5 Boston University last weekend, senior netminder Amanda Mazzotta has been named ECAC Hockey's Goaltender of the Week for the eighth time in her career.
Mazzotta, who missed the previous week's games with an injury, seemed no worse for the wear as she was stellar in net for the Big Red against the Terriers. In the first game of the weekend, Mazzotta saw 21 shots and stopped 20 of them. The one goal she allowed came when a Boston University played stole a puck near the net and went one-on-one against her, giving Mazzotta little time to react.
Less than 24 hours later, Mazzotta was back at it, saving another 21 Boston University attempts on goal and coming within 5:34 of a shutout. The Terriers – who came into the weekend as a top-five team but now sit at No. 6 – were averaging three goals per game.
This award is nothing new for the senior, who won it four different times last season. The weeks of Nov. 2, Nov. 9, Nov. 23 and March 8 all saw Mazzotta named ECAC Hockey's Goaltender of the Week. Mazzotta also took home this prize three times during her sophomore year.
Teammate Lauren Slebodnick earned the award twice last year on the weeks of Jan. 11 and Jan. 25.
