ALBANY, N.Y. -- Two netminders posted career
feats, the Crimson moved closer to a league crown, and the Raiders
upset a top 10 ten...all was done wearing special pink
jerseys. Only two of the league's home teams earned
victories, while three teams recorded five-goal games.
Rensselaer 1 at No. 10 Dartmouth 1: Dartmouth forward
Shannon Bowman netted the Big Green's fourth power-play goal in the
last two games, but Rensselaer got one of its own from forward
Kendra Dunlop in the final period to tie the game 1-1, in the first
annual Pink at the Rink contest. Dartmouth held the shot
advantage in the game by a 37-16 mark. Junior Engineers'
netminder Ashley Mayr stopped 36 Big Green attempts, including 17
in the first period, while junior Carli Clemis stopped 15 shots,
improving her record to 9-6-5 on the season.
At No. 1 Harvard 4, Union 0: Itching closer
to capturing a league title, Harvard's Caitlin Cahow and Sarah
Wilson each tallied power-play goals in the first period to lead
the Crimson over Union last evening at Bright Hockey Center.
The Crimson has now won 12 consecutive contests at home.
Freshman Kylie Stephens earned the first victory of her career, as
she made the start in net for the Crimson turning aside five shots,
while Lundy Day made 45 stops for Union.
At Colgate 5, No. 6 St. Lawrence 2: The
Raiders possessed positive energy in the first period scoring four
goals in the opening period to take a 4-1 lead over the Saints and
added one in tally in the final frame to secure the win. The
Raiders were led by freshman Jacquie Colborne's two-goal
performance and junior Sam Hunt's three-point effort. Junior
Kiira Dosdall also contributed with two assists. Colgate
finished 2-of-6 on the power-play, while St. Lawrence, who came
into the night ranked 4th in the country in that category, was
0-for-5 with only six shots on goal. The loss also snapped
St. Lawrence's seven-game unbeaten streak, which dated back to
January 12. Netminder Lisa Plenderleith made 26 stops for the
Raiders, while Saints' goaltender Meaghan Guckian turned back
11.
No. 9 Clarkson 5 at Cornell 3: Clarkson
takes over sole possession of third-place in ECAC Hockey play as
freshman Melissa Waldie and junior Marie-Jo Gaudet each scored
twice in a 5-3 win over Cornell last evening. Freshman
goaltender Lauren Dahm made 22 saves for Clarkson, while Katie
Wilson and Jenny Niesluchowski combined for 21 stops in the
loss. Big Red forwards Caeleigh Beerworth and Rebecca
Johnston each had a goal and an assist in the loss.
Princeton 2 at Yale 1: Junior forward Annie
Greenwood's power-play goal in the third period lifted Princeton
past Yale last night at Ingalls Rink. The Bulldogs outshot
the Tigers 27-25, but Princeton goaltender Kristen Young made 26
saves. Yale senior Shivon Zilis made 23, and freshman forward
Bray Ketchum accounted for the lone Yale goal.
Quinnipiac 5 at Brown 4: Freshman Brandice
Moniz scored a pair of goals and assisted on another, but it was
senior Antoinette Maldonado's second goal of the night with under
three minutes to play that gave Quinnipiac the ECAC Hockey win over
Brown. In goal, Quinnipiac's Tia Wishart stopped 50 shots,
while allowing four goals in the contest. Wishart stopped 24
shots in the second period alone. Brown's Nicole Stock had 21
saves for the game. The 50-save game was Wishart second of her
career.
