Marotta posted his fourth shutout of the season in LIU’s conference opener against Mercyhurst. The redshirt freshman made three stops as the Sharks battled the Lakers to a scoreless draw on Sunday. Marotta also made a trio of saves in a mid-week contest at Drexel for a .750 save percentage and 1.00 GAA in a 1-1 week. The Long Island native leads the conference in GAA (.500), save percentage (.864) and shutouts (four). Marotta has won two of the last four NEC Rookie of the Week awards. This marks the third straight year that a Shark has claimed multiple NEC Rookie of the Week awards (2024: Stephane Njike; 2023: Joshua Saavedra).
