UMASS DARTMOUTH GOALIE HONORED BY ECAC NORTHEAST CONFERENCE
 

CAPE COD, MA– Sophomore goaltender Jeff Green (Medway, MA/Valley Jr. Warriors) of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s hockey team has been honored for his performance last week.

Green has been named Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference Northeast Goaltender of the Week. It is the fourth time this season he has been so honored. 

Green allowed two goals in two starts last week as the Corsairs defeated Suffolk, 5-2 and Fitchburg State, 3-0. He stopped 31 of 33 shots against the Rams, and earned his second shutout of the season by stopping all 29 shots against the Falcons. Green currently leads the league with a 17-1-1 record, a 1.78 goals against average and a .927 save percentage.  

“Jeff has played consistently throughout the season,” said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach John Rolli. “He leads all goaltenders in save percentage, goals-against average and winning percentage.”

The Corsairs return to action when they host Franklin Pierce Saturday afternoon.
