Joannou recorded two saves in overtime against Ohio Wesleyan, forcing the game into a shootout after a 0-0 score persisted through both regulation and the two OT periods. The Wilkes-Barre native tallied her second shutout of the week against Washington & Jefferson, extending her league-leading shutout total to 12.
