SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Powered by a pair of second period goals and a
29 save effort from Sonja van der
Bliek, the Rensselaer women's hockey team
came-from-behind and held on in the final stanza in a 2-1 win over
Syracuse on Friday. With the victory, the Engineers move to
5-7-4 on the season, while the Orange move to 6-6-1 on the
year.
van der Bliek made eight stops in the first and second periods and
turned aside 13 shots in the final stanza for the victory.
After a scoreless first period, which saw both teams record eight
shots on goal, the homestanding Orange grabbed the 1-0 advantage as
sophomore forward Isabel Menard connected on a pass from Akane
Hosoyamada at 6:46. The goal, which came on the power play,
was also assisted by Megan Skelly.
The Engineers responded less than six minutes later as junior
defenseman Sierra
Vadner fired in a shot past netminder Kallie
Billadeau at 12:31 to even things up. Classmate and forward
Alisa
Harrison, along with rookie forward Missy
Mankey were awarded the helpers on the tally.
Sophomore Taylor
Horton tipped the scales in RPI's favor with less than
two minutes remaining in the middle stanza after she converted a
pass from Harrison for the eventual game-winner.
Despite being outshot 13-6 in the final period, Rensselaer held
strong to pick up its first victory since a 4-1 win at Yale on
November 12. The Engineers had gone 0-1-2 since that
win.
In the Orange net, Billadeau posted 19 saves.
The same two teams are back on the ice again on Saturday afternoon
in a 2pm face-off at the Tennity Ice Pavillion.
