The graduate student turned away five shots in a 1-0 shutout effort over Elms on Wednesday and made four saves, including an early PK stop, in a 2-1 triumph over Albertus Magnus on Saturday.

Through 13 games this season, Walbridge sports a 0.72 goals against average with a .864 save percentage after yielding nine goals and posting 57 saves over 1,126 minutes in net.

In 49 career games, Walbridge is 27-3-5 with a 0.49 goals against average and an .858 save percentage. He has allowed just 18 goals while making 109 saves in 3,305 minutes between the pipes and ranks second in program history in goals against average and victories and third in save percentage.
