SYRACUSE, N.Y. -  Rookie Brittany Phillips (Lauder, Man.) scored the game-winning goal with just 10.2 seconds left in overtime to give the Raiders a 5-4 victory against tenth-ranked Syracuse on Saturday evening at the Tennity Ice Pavilion in Syracuse, N.Y.  

Colgate fought back from a 4-1 deficit after the first period to remain undefeated in its all-time series against the Orange. Phillips added three more points on top of the game-winner, including the first goal of the game and two assists, one on the game-tying goal.    The Orange opened the game with two quick goals in the first five minutes of play. Syracuse picked up one more goal before Phillips put the Raiders on the board, to make it a 3-1 game. Sophomore Heidi Peterson (Hastings, Minn.) picked up her second assist of the season on the Colgate goal. The Orange closed the opening session with a final power-play goal, which would be their last of the game.   

The Raiders mounted their comeback in the second period, taking advantage of a power-play opportunity to cut the Syracuse lead in half, 4-2. Senior Katie Stewart (Exeter, Ont.) sent a hard pass toward the net where classmate Evan Minnick (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) tipped the puck in past Orange goaltender Lucy Schoedel.  

Colgate earned another power-play goal at 8:14 in the third period as Beth Rotenberg (Toronto, Ont.) made it a 4-3 game just seven seconds into the extra man advantage. After a flurry in front of the Syracuse net, senior Marissa Dombovy  (Webster, N.Y.) earned the game-tying goal with just 14.5 seconds left on the clock to send the game into an overtime session.    

Sophomore goaltender Kimberly Sass (East Amherst, N.Y.) stopped a breakaway opportunity by Syracuse in overtime and the Colgate defense blocked a rebound shot to stay in the game. With time running down on the overtime clock, Hannah Milan (Great Barrington, Mass.) sent a pass up the ice from the blue line where Phillips was able to get just in front of two Orange defenders. Phillips sent the puck over Schoedel with 10.2 seconds left on the clock to earn the overtime victory.  

Sass finished with 32 saves for Colgate while Schoedel had 31. The Raiders went 3-10 on the power-play while Syracuse finished 3-9.   Colgate will be back in action this weekend when they take on Niagara on Jan. 8-9 in Niagara Falls, N.Y. Game time is slated for 2 p.m. both days.
