As Meat Loaf once sang, two out of three ain't bad.
The Dutchwomen took home two of the three weekly ECAC Hockey women's awards this week. Senior forward Stefanie Thomson was named Player of the Week while junior goaltender Shenae Lundberg earned Goaltender of the Week.
Thomson scored three power play goals on as many shots in last weekend's series split against Maine at Messa Rink. Her power play tally on Friday proved to be the game-winner in a 2-0 shutout of the Black Bears. She added two power play markers in Saturday's 6-3 setback.
Lundberg picked up her second shutout of the season (and third of her career) with 19 saves in Friday's blanking of Maine. Lundberg, the program's all-time career wins leader with 13, is in a five-way tie for the most shutouts in program history.
The Dutchwomen (6-12) are off until a two-game series against RIT at Messa Rink on January 3-4.

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.

by Ryan Fay
Union women's hockey goaltender Shenae Lundberg was named ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week on Tuesday.
The junior recorded 25 saves en route to picking up her first shutout of the season in last Friday's 3-0 win against Dartmouth. The victory was the program's first over the Big Green, and it snapped the Dutchwomen's 30 game winless streak (0-26-4) in ECAC play.
On Saturday, Lundberg collected 22 saves in a 3-0 loss to seventh-ranked Harvard.
In 10 games this season, the Peterborough, New Hampshire native is 4-6-0 with a 2.75 goals against average, a .920 save percentage and one shutout.

Lundberg participating in elite camp
by Ryan Fay
Dutchwomen goaltender Shenae Lundberg is spending the weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan as she participates in the sixth annual Warren Strelow National Team Goaltending Camp.
The camp, which features the top netminders eligible for international play in select age groups, is led by former New Hampshire goaltender standout Mike Ayers, currently the USA Hockey Men's National Team goaltending coach. Thirty-six players were invited, 24 men and 12 women.

Focal points include the physical and mental aspects of being a goaltender, fundamentals of the position, and creating a personal identity that leads to in-game success.
Lundberg, a junior in the fall, previously attended the camp as a prep player in 2010 and 2011. This year's appearance marked the first one for a member of the women's hockey team.
"The level of talent both learning and training is exceptional," Lundberg said in a release. "The friends I have made over the years and the things I've learned from them and the staff has helped me to be the netminder that I am. I will take what I learn and will be training and instructing all summer to prepare myself for next season where it is my goal to try and get us to the playoffs."
Lundberg finished this past season with a 2.85 goals against average and a .906 save percentage in 30 contests, but a lackluster offense resulted in a last place finish.

Saturday in Union Hockey
(Unfortunately, I wasn't at the game, so no postgame videos tonight).
by Ryan Fay
DUTCHMEN 2, BROWN 0
Brown's three game unbeaten streak against Union came to an end following a 2-0 loss Saturday night at Messa Rink.
The game was scoreless until 9:30 of the second period when Max Novak's even strength goal gave the Dutchmen a 1-0 lead. It was the sophomore's second goal in as many nights.
Kyle Bodie's empty net tally at 19:41 of the third period made it a 2-0 lead.
The Dutchmen set a season high in shots with 48, two more than the previous high set on Nov. 25 vs Penn State. Saturday's win marked the first 2-0 weekend for Union since the Penn State weekend Nov. 24-25.
After coughing up five goals and getting yanked in a 5-1 loss to RPI on Friday, Brown's Anthony Borelli rebounded and set a career high with 46 saves.
One night after taking eight penalties against Yale, Union's lone penalty was a holding the stick call against freshman David Roy at 2:56 of the second period.
Troy Grosenick stopped all 23 shots that came his way for his first shutout of the season.
With the win, and Yale's 4-1 loss at RPI, Union moves into a tie for third place with St. Lawrence. The Saints clipped Princeton, 3-2.
The Dutchmen (15-10-5, 8-6-4) travel to Colgate and Cornell next Fri-Sat. Both games start at 7 pm.
DUTCHWOMEN 1, YALE 1
Despite being eliminated from playoff contention, the Dutchwomen still have some fight in them.
Rhianna Kurio's goal with 16 seconds left in the third period forced an eventual 1-1 tie at Yale (4-19-3, 3-13-3).
Yale's only goal came from Kate Martini at 5:33 of the third period.
Drawing her first collegiate start, Maddie Dahl collected 21 saves prior to being relieved by Shenae Lundberg late in regulation.
The Dutchwomen (7-21-4, 0-16-4) outshot Yale, 32-27, and return to Messa Rink to close out the season against Cornell and Colgate next Fri-Sat.

Lundberg leading Dutchwomen in new role
by Ryan Fay
Going from backup to starter isn't always easy, but women's hockey goaltender Shenae Lundberg is handling the extra responsibility just fine.
When current volunteer assistant Kate Gallagher graduated last spring, the sophomore was given the starting gig. In the time since, Lundberg has taken the bull by the horns and is backstopping the program to its best season as a Division I team.
With seven wins, the Dutchwomen are having the kind of success not seen since winning 11 games as a Division III program back in 2002-2003. Lundberg, a backup on the World Champion USA Under 18 National Team in 2011, has picked up six of the team's seven wins.
She said her previous experience as a starter has been key to her transition this year.
"I learned a lot in middle school and high school when I was a starter, so I had a good idea of what [being a starter] was like."
Being able to learn from a senior like Gallagher last season also made the jump easier.
"It was really nice to learn from her," Lundberg added. "She really taught me a lot, so stepping into this year, I had [a lot of] help."
Lundberg, 19, said the team is working harder than ever and practice sessions have never been better. The netminder credited teammates for sending a lot of great shots her way in practice this season.
All that seems to be paying off. Her goals against average has dropped from 3.95 last year to 2.78 this season and her 253 saves rank fifth in ECAC women's play. That kind of performance has earned her two ECAC women's goaltender of the week awards and a goaltender of the month award.
Over the weekend, she helped sweep Penn State by collecting her first collegiate shutout in Friday's 1-0 win and only allowing one goal in Saturday's 2-1 victory.
Lundberg said earning the shutout on Friday was a "great" feeling, but added it was a team effort, with special thanks to the defense in front of her.
Outings like the ones this weekend have caught the attention of head coach Claudia Asano Barcomb, who said earlier this year that the Deerfield Academy product "has stepped into her role as a starter and done a great job."
The Dutchwomen will need Lundberg to keep it up when play resumes on Tuesday with a non-league home game against New Hampshire (7-11-2, 4-4-1 Hockey East). Union then goes back to league play as it travels to Dartmouth (11-5-2, 6-4-1 ECAC) on Friday before playing at #2 Harvard (13-1-1, 11-0) on Saturday.
