AJAX — An Ajax goaltender in her freshman season with the Colgate University Red Raiders (Hamilton, NY) posted her first-ever shutout in a victory over another New York college last week. Freshman goaltender Lisa Plender- leith earned the game’s first star after making 36 total saves for her first career shutout in a 3-0 victory over the Niagara University (Niagara Falls, NY) Purple Eagles on Dec. 8. And, for her exploits, Plender- leith was named the ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week, it was announced by the Lisa Plenderleith league office on Monday, Dec. 10. This is Plenderleith’s first league award. A highlight of Plenderleith’s play came six minutes into the final frame. Niagara found a loose puck and skated in on Plenderleith. The skater sent a cen- tering pass inside the slot to a teammate, but Plenderleith read the pass and made a kick save to keep the slate clean. The Raiders picked up back-to-back penal- ties, 14 seconds apart, just over eight minutes into the third. Plenderleith made 10 saves during the 5-on-3 that lasted 1:46. With 11 minutes remaining she made Ron Pietroniro/ News Advertiser photo a terrific stop on the near side and a Col- gate defender was able to clear the puck out of the paint to prevent any damage.
