Johnson backstopped the Blackbirds to a pair of crucial Northeast Conference wins last weekend, including a victory over Mount St. Mary’s on Oct. 31 and a 3-1 triumph over Monmouth on Nov. 2 that earned LIU the title of 2008 NEC Regular Season Champions and the top seed in the postseason. The senior netminder made four saves against MSM and stopped a pair of shots against the Hawks as she lowered her goals against average to 0.73, which stands second in the Conference. The shutout against the Mount marked Johnson’s second of the year, as it was the ninth for the Blackbirds as a team.
