February 08, 2017 | Women's Ice Hockey
Albany, N.Y. - Princeton freshmen goaltender Steph Neatby who led the Tigers to a 5-0-1 record last month, which included extending the program's unbeaten streak to 11 (9-0-2), was named the Hockey Commissioners' Association National Division I Rookie of the Month for January.
The Women's Hockey Commissioners Association announced the creation of the monthly honors, to be given to the nation's top collegiate women's hockey player and rookie each month, this past Tuesday.
The 6-0 Neatby finished with the best save percentage in the nation during the month of January at .969. She made a total of 154 saves on 159 shots as she was unbeaten in the Tigers five games.
The Toronto, Ontario native recorded two shutouts, giving her a total of three on season, by blanking Dartmouth (January 6) and Quinnipiac (January 31) in league contests. Additionally, in logging nearly 365 minutes in net, she finished with the nation's best goals against average at 0.82 GAA for the month. Three of her games in net were against ranked opponents, where she rose to challenge registering a 3-0-0 mark.
Neatby has been selected the ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week four times (December 6, January 3, 10, & 17) since she began playing on November 25 and league Rookie of the Week once on December 13. She recently was named both the league's Rookie and Goaltender of the Month for January. It marked the second consecutive time she claimed the top league goaltender monthly award.
During her rookie campaign she currently boasts an overall record of 8-2-1, along with a stellar 1.33 GAA and .953 save percentage, back-boning the Tigers to a top ten national ranking.
