D2 Least Goals Against

#78 -- Danielle Epplley, IUP

.

Danielle never played ice hockey before this season, but she was a field hockey goalie in high school.  Our team had no goalie at the beginning of the season, so our players convinced her to come out for the team. She borrowed equipment from the local girl’s ice hockey team, learned how to skate, and worked tirelessly to improve her goaltending and skating skills.  In her first game, she stopped 35 shots.   Not bad for a beginner.  Danielle finished her first season of hockey with two shutouts and an SV% of .917 and lead IUP to its best season in its history. Her dedication to learning the game, stellar rookie performance, and awesome saves demonstrate she is deserving of the MVP Award.
