RPI first-year defender Abby Peterson helped the Engineers allow only one goal on a total of eight shots in three games, all victories, last week. She added eight shots of her own, five of which were on goal. She scored once and had an assist for three points. Abby began the week by helping keep Manhattanville without a shot in a 9-0 shutout victory. She had two shots, both on goal, including one that scored, in the contest. Two days later in another shutout, 7-0 over Nazareth, she again helped keep the opposition without a shot, while taking five of her own (3 on goal) and registering an assist. Peterson then helped backstop the Engineers to a 2-1 win over Skidmore as the Thoroughbreds managed only one goal on eight total shots. Individually, Peterson had a shot of her own in the league victory.
