The St. Louis native tallied 11 saves on the week.
Ritter started 15 of Lindenwood’s 16 games during the Fall season and recorded a 9-3-3 record in the net with eight shutouts. Ritter boasted .843 save percentage and a 0.74 goals against average. Ritter was named Second Team All-OVC and OVC All-Newcomer Team.
