Of keepers who faced 30+ shots-on-goal last year, Adler was the 9th highest rated. Kirson was 24th.

This is an adjusted rating that accounts for the quality of the shots they faced. Kirson made exactly as many saves as you'd expect. Adler made 9.5 more saves than you'd expect. https://twitter.com/College_Crosse/status/1356796751030681602

We use the adjusted rating because it accounts for the strength of the defense in front of the GK.

The OSU D had the 12th best expected shooting % last year. St Joe's was 23rd. As a result, Adler's 61% save percentage ends up looking quite a bit better than Kirson's 61%.

2) McElroy (Gtown)
