On the way to earning her first SUNYAC/PrestoSports Defensive Athlete of the Week honor of her Hawks career, Dowling aided SUNY New Paltz to two shutout victories on the week against Ithaca College and Morrisville State Oct. 12 and Oct. 16, respectively.
Dowling made the start in both shutout victories, none bigger than a 3-0 victory on the road over top-25 opponent Ithaca Oct. 12. Dowling protected an early 3-0 lead for the Hawks and withstood 13 shots, eight coming in the second half alone, to preserve the shutout victory. The East Northport, NY native finished with five saves in the win and recorded her second win of the season. Dowling then got the start Oct. 16 on the road against SUNYAC opposition Morrisville and in the first 30 minutes of action made the lone stop of the game to help with the 8-0 victory.
