...junior goalie Christina Kessler extended her recent stretch of stellar play, shutting down the Raiders for the remainder of the game. Kessler made 25 saves on the afternoon in another outstanding performance. The netminder has allowed just five goals in her last six games, coming closer to her form of last year, in which she set the NCAA single-season shutouts record. “She’s playing the way a goalie of her caliber should play,” Stone said. “She’s doing her part.
