Dutchwomen's Lundberg nears record

by Ryan Fay

Union women's hockey goaltender Shenae Lundberg is on the verge of program history.

With last Friday's 3-0 shutout of Dartmouth, the junior earned her 11th career win, tying her with Dana Smullyan (2002-2006) as the program's all-time winningest goaltender.

Lundberg can claim the record as early as Friday at Colgate. It's a favorable matchup, as the Raiders are off to a 2-8 start, including an 0-4 mark in ECAC play.

Colgate's offense has struggled mightily, sitting next-to-last in Division I women's hockey with an average of 1.10 goals per game. The Raiders have been blanked in three of their four ECAC contests.

Union's offense shouldn't have trouble supporting Lundberg. Colgate has surrendered 3.40 goals per game, 25th out of 35 Division I women's teams. Last weekend, the Raiders coughed up a combined 12 goals in losses to Princeton and Quinnipiac.

Gametime on Friday is 7 p.m.
