Hockey NY Riveters Goalie, Katie Fitzgerald, Earns Player of the Week Honors by Chip Gianni November 24, 2016 New York Riveters netminder, Katie Fitzgerald was named the National Women’s Hockey League’s Player of the Week following her shutout of the Connecticut Whale on Sunday. Fitzgerald has faced 94 shots, while turning away all but six, in her last three starts between the pipes for the Riveters. On Sunday, she stopped all 28 that the Whale threw her way. Following a strong performance last weekend in Western New York, against the Buffalo Beauts, she has shown why her coach, Chad Wiseman has entrusted her with the number one spot in the crease. During that weekend in Buffalo, she helped the Riveters pick up three out of a possible four points in the standings. The Illinois native and St. Cloud State University graduate faced the most shots in the Western Collegiate Hockey Conference during her senior year with the Huskies. She put up a 2.99 goals against average with a .907 save percentage in the 2015-2016 season. The Riveters will be back on the ice, at the Barnabas Health Hockey House, on Saturday, December 3, as the Beauts make their way to Newark, New Jersey. The following day, the first-place Boston Pride will pay a visit to the “Brick City.” Post Views: 1,040 The following two tabs change content below.BioLatest Posts Chip Gianni Chip is a Staff Writer at DoubleGSports.com Latest posts by Chip Gianni (see all) NWHL Picks up Fourth NHL Partnership Agreement with Boston Pride and Boston Bruins - January 10, 2019 Metropolitan Riveters Acquire Goaltender Maria Sorokina from Connecticut Whale - January 3, 2019 Former New Jersey Devils Defenseman Named Head Coach of Metropolitan Riveters - September 21, 2018 Metropolitan Riveters Re-Sign MVP Alexa Gruschow - September 12, 2018 Related TopicsHockeyKatie FitzgeraldNew York RivetersNWHL Click to comment You must be logged in to post a comment Login Leave a Reply Cancel replyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
