University of Rochester senior goalie Kara Houston totaled 22 saves in what ended up as a 1-1 week for the Yellowjackets. She opened the week with a career-high 18 saves in a monumental effort against #24 Hamilton on Wednesday, getting credited for a shutout in what was a 1-0 penalty shootout loss. Houston was peppered with 31 total shots against but did not allow a goal in the 80 minutes during the game. On Saturday, Houston then made four saves and allowed just one goal in the Yellowjackets 4-1 victory over Marywood. The 18 saves against Hamilton is the ninth most in a single-game this season in Division III, and most by a player who did not allow a goal.
