2015 May 8

CASTLETON, Vt. - After helping the Spartans capture their 15th straight win and fourth consecutive North Atlantic Conference (NAC) Championship this past week, junior Rachel Bombardier of Pittsford, VT was selected as the ECAC Division III New England Defensive Player of the Week, as announced by the conference on Tuesday.

Bombardier came up big for the Spartans on Saturday to help the squad secure an automatic NCAA Tournament berth with a 16-3 victory over Thomas. In that contest, the junior played all sixty minutes in the cage, producing a 72.7 save percentage with eight saves and just three goals allowed against a team that averaged 11.58 goals per game this season. She now holds a perfect 6-0 mark on the year with a 61.0 save percentage and 5.57 GAA in eight appearances.

This marks the third time this season that Bombardier has received this honor from the ECAC and the fifth time that a Spartan has this season.
