Dickinson compiled 11 saves and allowed a single goal during a pair of overtime games last week in Hawaii, helping the Falcons complete their non-conference schedule with a 3-0-1 record. She stopped six shots and registered her third shutout in a scoreless tie with BYU-Hawaii on Wednesday.

“Maddie was awesome,” SPU coach Chuck Seykra said following the BYU contest. “She came off the line well and had a one-versus-one save to stop a goal.”

On Saturday against Hawaii Pacific, Dickinson was credited with five saves in SPU’s 1-0 double-overtime victory.

She currently leads the GNAC with a 0.23 goals against average and is second in save percentage at 92.3%.

A product of Skyview High School in Vancouver, Wash., Dickinson now has 22 career collegiate clean sheets. She is within three shutouts of the school’s all-time leader Jennifer Hull who blanked 25 opponents from 2001-04.

Dickinson and the SPU women open conference play at home on Thursday, Sept. 16 against Montana State Billings. Kick-off is 7
