The three-year starter led the Great Northeast Athletic Conference (GNAC) in games (20) and minutes and ranked second in the league in saves, save percentage, and shutouts.

In three years between the posts at Saint Joseph's, the two-time GNAC Goalkeeper of the Year accumulated a 40-15-3 record with 15 shutouts to go with a 1.06 goals against average and an .854 save percentage over 59 career games.
