Johnson made a career-high 20 saves in a 3-2 victory over Castleton State on Sunday, October 3rd. The result against the Spartans, which was the Monks' only game last week, increased the team's 2010 in-league record to 3-0.

She is the Monks' all-time leader in victories (32), goals against average (1.32) and is tied for the team's record for career shutouts with 10 goose-egg efforts. She also ranks second in goalkeeper games (45) and minutes (3121) and third in save percentage with a .813 career mark.

Johnson also owns the program's single-season records for games (19), minutes (1298), wins (13, 2x), shutouts (5) and goals against average (1.29). She has started 33 consecutive games in net for the Monks.
