Keaton Hartigan (Kitchener, Ont.) found his game at the right time as the fifth year Waterloo netminder was an absolute workhorse stopping 109 shots as the Warriors knocked off the No. 3 nationally ranked Western Mustangs in the OUA west semifinals.  After stopping 31 of 33 shots faced in Waterloo’s hard fought series opening loss, Hartigan stole game two for the black and gold with a 44 save performance on Saturday in Waterloo.  In Sunday’s deciding game, Hartigan again stood on his head turning aside 35 of 38 shots faced to complete the upset victory.  Hartigan posted a save percentage of 0.932 with a goals against average of 2.69 in the three game series as Waterloo moves on to the conference finals for first time since 2007.
