And surely there must be some Oval Office envy, given that one of their own had left them...
Niagara and sophomore goalie Tania Pinelli have been especially effective in stopping their opponents early on. For the first 11 games, not a single team managed to crack Pinelli in the first period until UNH finally managed to break through last weekend. For the season, Pinelli's goals-against average is 1.61 and her save percentage...
