Rachel McQuigge Signs With Metropolitan Riveters
July 15, 2022 | Women's Ice Hockey
Full Release
Rachel McQuigge '22 will begin her professional hockey career with the Metropolitan Riveters of the Premier Hockey Federation (PHF) after signing a free agent contract with the organization.
"I chose to sign a contract with the Rivs at this time of rapid growth in the pro women's game because I want to be a part of a concerted effort to increase visibility and opportunity for women in sports," said McQuigge. "I believe that sports are a vehicle for life skills and social change, and women have been under appreciated and left out of this arena for too long."
A first-team All-Ivy selection last season, McQuigge was one of 12 semifinalists for National Goalie of the Year. She was 17th among Division I netminders in GAA (1.88) and 11th in save percentage (.938).
She started 29 of Princeton's 33 games during the 2021-22 season, posting a 10-14-4 record with three shutouts. Her 801 saves last season are the fifth-most in a single season all-time by a Tiger.
All-time, McQuigge ranks No. 2 in GAA (1.81) and save percentage (.933) while also sitting No. 8 in saves (1,494).
