Shannon Szabados makes hockey history

Shannon Szabados, goaltender for the Columbus Cottonmouths, made 34 saves on her way to become the first female goaltender to win a game in the SPHL. Columbus beat the Fayetteville FireAntz (offical name, not kidding) 5-4 in overtime on Friday night.

This is Szabados second season with the Cottonmouths. She originally signed with the franchise in March as a backup to goaltender. Some were wary this was a gimmick by the SPHL, but she impressed the organization enough to where she re-signed in the backup role for a second go in August.
