Andzel closed out the weekend with two assists on Canton?s three goals including the primary assist on the eventual game-winner of a 3-2 win against Buffalo State on Saturday.
Goergen posted a .930 save percentage, a 1.95 GAA, and one shutout over three games last week to lead the nationally 11th-ranked Red Dragons to a 2-0-1 record. The senior made a season-high 34 saves for her third shutout of the season as Cortland earned a 3-0 win over nationally seventh-ranked Elmira on Tuesday evening. She also had a 30-save performance for Cortland in a 3-1 victory over previously unbeaten Arcadia on Saturday afternoon. Gergen made 16 saves on Sunday, including a clutch save in overtime to preserve a tie for the Red Dragons. She also stopped two of three shootout attempts, as Cortland was victorious in the exhibition shootout.
