When Port Jefferson goalie Emma Batter stopped a shot against John Glenn this week, she also made history as she set the record and became new NYSPHSAA career saves leader.
Batter recorded her 666th career save officially breaking the NYSPHSAA record. Although Port Jefferson is just 3-10 this season Batter has been a shining light for the school. She still has three games to go in the season to add to the impressive record as every save she makes will extend the new mark.
Batter had eight saves in the game against Glenn, including the record breaker and has 152 saves on the season. She has six games this season with double digit saves and an unthinkable two games with 25+ stops. Against East Islip in early April, she stopped 26 shots, but that wasn't even her best effort of the year. That games were just last week against West Babylon when she had 28 saves.
Batter has committed to continue her playing career at the next level when she will play women's lacrosse at Mercy University next season.
