Asa Roberts averaged 3.5 saves per match, stopping seven of the eight shots on goal he faced in a 2-0 week the Lions had to have to earn a spot in this week's NEWMAC Tournament. Posted a 0.50 goals against average and .875 save percentage while playing all 180-minutes in the Emerson goal for the week. Made two vital late saves to preserve Wednesday's 1-0 triumph over WPI, both stops coming with less than three minutes to play. Added five stops in Saturday's 3-1 triumph at regionally-ranked MIT to sew up a postseason berth for the third-straight year, including four after halftime to preserve the two goal lead.
