It’s tough getting anything past Jackee Snikeris ’11.

The women’s ice hockey goalie stopped 56 of 60 shots during the three games over Thanksgiving break, earning her the title of ECAC Hockey Goaltender of the Week. Snikeris nearly shut out then-No. 4 Boston University on Nov. 25 as the Bulldogs trumped them 4-1. The Terriers struggled to score as Snikeris made 18 saves in the match, helping Yale to its upset win over BU.

Earlier last week, Snikeris was also named the top goaltender at the Nutmeg Classic and received the Belliveau Award, which was named after Yale All-American Laurie Belliveau ’98.
