Tina O'Donnell '20 was once again stellar in the cage for the Soaring Eagles in a trio of starts. She combined for a 0.67 goals-against average, a .926 save percentage and 25 saves while earning her third shutout win of the year on Sunday.
In her first start of the week at Brockport, the Kutztown, Pennsylvania, native posted 14 saves, her third-highest single-game total of the season, in a narrow 1-0 loss to the Golden Eagles. O'Donnell then held the defending Empire 8 Conference champion, Washington and Jefferson, to a single goal by making 11 more stops in a 1-0 loss. It's just the second time in series history that the Soaring Eagles have limited the Presidents to one goal. On Sunday, O'Donnell didn't need to record any saves, but was credited with a shutout, as EC topped Lancaster Bible by a 5-0 final score.
With her 11th save against W&J on Saturday, O'Donnell became the sixth goalie in program history to amass 400 career saves. Among conference leaders, she ranks first in goals-against average (0.99), save percentage (.895), and tied for first in shutouts (3).
O'Donnell and the field hockey team will resume E8 action on Saturday, October 12, when they take on Hartwick College at Wright Stadium in Oneonta, New York. The match will begin at 1:00 p.m.
