She wanted to be like Sarah Tueting when she grew up. Ivy League goaltender (Dartmouth). Olympian (U.S.). Olympic medalist (Gold, Nagano, 1998; Silver, Salt Lake City, 2002).
"I had heard about her because she is from Chicagoland, too," Nicole Stock said, referring to the informal name locals use for metropolitan Chicago. "I wanted to be in her shoes."
Stock, a junior from Buffalo Grove, Ill., is one-third of the way to that childhood goal. She is the record-breaking starting goaltender for Brown University of the Ivy League, and tonight against Cornell, or tomorrow afternoon against Colgate, she will most likely break the Brown record for saves in a season. She has 663, 18 shy of the record of 681 set by Ali Brewer in 2000, when she won the Kazmaier Award as the best player in women's collegiate hockey.
