SCHENECTADY, NY- Visiting Rennselaer got goals from three
different players and added a late empty-netter as they defeated
the Union Dutchwomen 4-1 on Friday night at Messa Rink in the first
game of a home and home series.
The Engineers scored twice in the first period on goals by Taylor
Horton and Kristen Jakubowski to go up 2-0. They would take a 3-0
lead at 16:26 of the second period on an unassisted goal from Toni
Sanders.
The Dutchwomen had a chance to get back in the game late in the
second period when Union was on the five-on-three power play but
they could not capitalize as RPI would kill off the penalty. Union
finally broke through in the third period when Marissa Gentile
tipped in a shot from Perri Maduri to make it 3-1.
With time winding down in the period, Union goaltender Kate
Gallagher left the ice to give the Dutchwomen the extra attacker
but the Engineers' Sydney O'Keefe fired a shot into the empty goal
to put RPI up 4-1 and seal the game. Gallagher made 30 saves in
goal for Union. Sonja van der Bliek had 21 saves for the
Engineers.
RPI led in shots 34-22. Union committed only two penalties in the
game while RPI was whistled for four. The two teams return to
action tomorrow afternoon in Troy at 4 pm.
