Boxscore

SCHENECTADY, NY -- Junior goaltender Lundy Day (Calgary, ALB) recorded her first career shutout victory and freshman forward Suzanne Ostrow (Boise, ID) had two goals and an assist to lead Union College to a 4-0 over Sacred Heart University at Messa Rink Saturday afternoon. The Dutchwomen improved to 2-17-2 after this non-league contest, while the Pioneers fell to 6-11-1. It was the second triumph for Union over Sacred Heart this season, as the Dutchwomen were 7-1 winners in Bridgeport, CT on November 27, and Union's first shutout victory of the 2007-08 season.

Day, who recorded a 0-0 shutout tie against Quinnipiac earlier this season, made 23 saves in the win. She made 12 of those stops in the second period. Union also got goals from Courtney Chais (Plantation, FL) and Stephanie Gilbert (Salt Lake City, UT).

The Dutchwomen had a 35-23 shot advantage and had 15 shots on Sarah Perry (Sudbury, MA) in the second period.

Union opened the scoring with 23 seconds remaining in the first period. Ostrow fed Chais, who scored her third goal of the season, from the top right circle. The Dutchwomen made it 2-0 with 3:40 elapsed in the second stanza. Sophomore defenseman Jackie Koetteritz (Breckenridge, CO) passed to Ostrow high in the right circle and the freshman forward beat Perry for her third goal of the winter and a 2-0 Union lead.

Just 18 seconds after Ostrow's first goal of the game, Gilbert tallied on a drive from the left side of Perry for a 3-0 Dutchwomen lead. Gabriela Wintner (Calgary, AB) and Elsa Perushek (Maple Grove, MN) provided the helpers on Gilbert's first goal of the season. Union closed out the scoring when Kelly Fleming (Lake Placid, NY) fed Ostrow in the slot, and the freshman fired it over Perry's right shoulder at 14:24.

The two teams meet again Sunday at Messa Rink at 3 p.m.
