SYRACUSE, N.Y. – For the fourth time this season and for the third consecutive week, senior Kassi Abbott (Medford, Mass./Boston Shamrocks Elite) of the Plattsburgh State women’s ice hockey team has been selected as the Northeast Women’s Hockey League (NEWHL) Goalie of the Week, earning the distinction for the period ending Dec. 2, 2018.
This is Abbott’s eighth career NEWHL Goalie of the Week honor.
Abbott backstopped the Cardinals in a NEWHL weekend sweep of Oswego State by authoring a .964 save percentage and a 0.56 goals-against average.

For the year, Abbott ranks second in NCAA Division III in save percentage (.982), goals-against average (0.33) and shutouts (6).
