In a 3-0 week for the Raiders that included a road win at No. 6 Mansfield, Albee made six saves and allowed one goal in 180:00 minutes of action. After shutouts of Frostburg and The Rock, Albee came up big in the 2-1 at Mansfield. Shippensburg's scoreless streak of 285 minutes, 21 seconds, came to an end, but in the second half, Albee made five saves, bringing her career total to 201. Her first save was arguably the most noteworthy – as she denied the Mountaineers on a penalty stroke in the third quarter. Albee followed that up with four saves in the fourth quarter – all in the final seven minutes – to preserve the victory.
