Raiders Extend Winning Streak to Five
PROVIDENCE, R.I. (1/23/09) - Sophomore
goaltender Lisa Plenderleith (Ajax, Ont.) made 18 saves for her
first shutout of the season and senior forward Sam Hunt (Calgary,
Alta.) recorded two assists to break the Colgate record as the
women's hockey team beat Brown 5-0 Friday night at Meehan
Auditorium. The win extended the Raiders winning streak to five
games.
Colgate (13-9-2, 7-4-2) scored three even strength goals, one
power-play and one shorthanded while Plenderleith held the Bears
scoreless to secure the her second career shutout. Junior
Beth Rotenberg (Toronto, Ont.) opened the scoring 13:39 into in the
first period with an assist from Hunt and sophomore Jessi
Waters (Menlo Park, Calif.). Junior Katie Stewart (Exeter, Ont.)
would record Colgate's first shorthanded goal of the season
two-minutes later to give the Raiders a 2-0 lead through the first.
Stewart's goal was assisted by Hunt and junior Evan Minnick
(Highlands Ranch, Colo.). For Hunt this was her 61st career assist
snapping the Colgate division I record of 60 set by former teammate
Tara French '07. With two points on the night Hunt also extended
her current scoring streak to seven points in five games.
Senior Clancy Todd (Thorold, Ont.) gave Colgate a three goal
cushion off a power-play goal at the 9:41 mark of the second
period. Todd was assisted by Minnick and sophomore Jacquie Colborne
(Calgary, Alta.). Senior Elin Brown (Calgary, Alta.) would
make it 4-0 three minutes later with an even strength goal. Brown
was assisted by Stewart and freshman Amanda Kirwan (Mississauga,
Ont.). Stewart also extended her team leading scoring streak to 16
points in the last 14 games.
Minnick opened the third period with her 10th goal of the season to
give Colgate a 5-0 lead and that was more than enough for
Plenderleith who recorded the first shutout for the Raiders this
season. Plenderleith's shutout is her second of her career and the
first for Colgate since her shutout Niagara 3-0 on Dec. 7, 2007.
Brown (3-15-1, 2-10) had one highlight on the night and that
came in the third period when goaltender Nicole Stock made her
2,491st save of her career passing the Bears record of 2,490. Stock
finished the night with 45 saves to increase her career total to
2,497.
Colgate out-shot the Bears 50-18. The Raiders went 1-8 on the
power-play and was a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.
Colgate returns to action tomorrow Saturday, Jan. 24 at Yale. The
game is slated to begin at 4 p.m.
