NEC ROOKIE OF THE WEEK
Gabby Gober, Fairfield
Fr., Goalkeeper, New Tripoli, PA/Northwest Lehigh
In her first collegiate start, Gober posted a victory against one of the nation’s top-scoring offenses. The freshman goalkeeper made three saves on 10 shots faced against Villanova on Sunday, but her biggest stop came late in the second quarter. The Stags were facing a 1-0 deficit as the Wildcats were awarded a penalty stroke. Gober went on to deflect the shot wide on the left side of the goal to keep the score 1-0 going into halftime. Gober led a defense that held Villanova to one goal in a game for only the second time in eight matches as the Stags (5-2)(0-0) secured the 2-1 victory in double overtime. Gober posted a .750 save percentage against the Wildcats, who entered the game ranked seventh nationally in goals per game (3.14).
