            Sophomore Ali Ponte was named ECAC Women's East Goalie of the Week, and freshman Kelsey Cosby was selected to the Weekly Honor Roll.  They were instrumental in PSU earning a weekend split against the University of Southern Maine in a pair of one-goal games, including the Panthers' first win of the season Saturday at USM.

            A 5'4" goalie, Ponte was PSU's starting goalie in the weekend series vs. USM as she posted a 1-1 record.  She finished with a 2.97 goals against average and a .903 saves percentage for the weekend after making 25 saves in Friday night's 4-3 loss and 31 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win.

            A 5'7" forward, Cosby was PSU's leading scorer over the weekend with a goal and two assists.  She tallied a goal and an assist in Friday night's 4-3 loss to USM and added an assist in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Huskies.

            Plymouth State, 1-9-3 overall and 1-5-2 in conference play, are home at Hanaway Rink this weekend for ECAC East games against the University of Massachusetts Boston on Friday (6:00 p.m.) and Saint Anselm College on Saturday (2:30 p.m.)
