This past Saturday, the Union Women’s hockey team took on the number- 8 seed Brown in Providence, Rhode Island. With a 2-0 win, Union not only secured a spot in the ECAC quarterfinals, but managed to get their first playoff win (and shutout!) in program history.
Karianne Engelbert ‘28 scored both of Union’s goals Saturday afternoon, breaking the Union record for rookie points and tying Union’s rookie goals record. Engelbert, who was the ECAC’s Rookie of the Week earlier in the season, was named to the ECAC’s All-Rookie Team. She is the second Union player to ever be named to an ECAC team. At the D1 level, she is tied for second for rookie goals this season.
