For the second time in as many weeks, Syracuse goaltender Allie Kelley is the College Hockey America Goaltender of the Week. The graduate student posted 84 saves in the two-game series against Merrimack, including 56 in a 2-1 overtime loss to the Warriors. The 56 save performance is one shy of the Syracuse single-game record (57, Kallie Billadeau, 11/30/2010) and is the best single-game performance in the CHA this season.
This season, Kelley leads the CHA in goals against/game (1.32), saves per game (27.67) and save percentage (.954). Kelley has 111 saves in four games for the Orange. A native of New Berne, N.Y., Kelley earned the starting goalie position in her first season at Syracuse after transferring from St. Anselm College.
The Orange will play a home-and-home series against RPI next weekend with the first game on Friday, Oct. 13 at 6 pm at RPI’s Houston Field House and the second game on Saturday, Oct. 14 at 4 pm at Tennity Ice Pavilion. On Saturday, Syracuse will host a ‘Skate with the Orange’ following the game for all fans. Skate rentals are available for the public and free for SU students.
