Forward Kelly Babstock watched her teammate Amanda Colin take a shot. Goaltender Kate Gallagher made a save, but the puck bounced off and Babstock seized the opportunity. She took her own shot and sent the puck past Gallagher before the goaltender had a chance to get into position.
Her second of two goals against Union College on February 12 was her seventh point of the weekend, a new high for Babstock. It was also her 55th point of the season. Despite being only a freshman, Babstock led the team in scoring by over 30 points and is fifth in the country. That is a lot of production for anyone, let alone a freshman new to the dynamics of college hockey.
Babstock started playing hockey in Mississauga, Ont., when she was six. “My older brother played hockey; my dad had taught him how to play, and I kinda wanted to be like my older bro,” said Babstock.
