Union netminder Melissa Black was named ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week, the league announced Tuesday.

The freshman piled up 97 total saves in a pair of 2-2 ties over the weekend. She turned aside 58 at Colgate on Friday before picking up 39 more stops at Cornell the next day.

Her performances helped Union go unbeaten in the opening weekend of ECACH play for the first time in program history.

In eight games this season, Black is 0-3-4 with a 1.95 goals-against average and a .951 save percentage.
