Jackson Earns Hockey East Goaltender of the Month

BOSTON, Mass-- After a three shutout month, Carly Jackson earned the Hockey East Defensive Player of the Month for January.

The junior goaltender pitched three shutouts in eight appearances for the Black Bears over the month of January, posting a 3-3-2 record and leading all of Hockey East with a 1.23 goal against average and .952 save percentage. Of her five non-win decisions, she allowed a total of three goals in the other two outings. In the victory over UConn on Jan. 25, Jackson became the winningest goaltender in program history with 33 wins.

The Amherst, Nova Scotia native began the month with a 26-save shutout in a 1-0 win over Boston University and closed January with a 21-save blanking to preserve a scoreless draw against UConn. Jackson is the first Maine goaltender to earn a monthly award since Meghann Treacy won the WHEA goaltender of the month for her efforts in 2014-15. Jackson holds the Black Bears previous award for Hockey East Defensive Player of the Week, earning the honor on Jan. 8, 2018.

The Black Bears return home on Friday to host the Providence Friars for a weekend series. Puck drop for Friday and Saturday's contests are 2 p.m.
