Skidmore College senior defender Gillian Maher started and logged heavy minutes defensively for the Thoroughbreds over the week as they surrendered just one goal in two games, outscoring opponents 8-1. Against St. John Fisher, Maher recorded her second defensive save of the season to preserve the team’s lead in what was a 2-1 game until the fourth quarter. With Maher anchoring the unit, Skidmore successfully defended each of the 12 penalty corners it faced.
