HAMDEN, CONN. – Colgate (3-5) secured its third win of the season on Saturday, when it defeated Quinnipiac 2-1 in overtime. This was the team’s first ECAC Hockey win of the season, improving their conference mark to 1-1.

Colgate got on the board early at the 11.39 mark of the first period when sophomore Jenna Klynstra (Edmonton, Alta.) shot the puck past Victoria Vigilanti to give the Raiders the 1-0 lead going into the second frame. Senior Hannah Milan (Great Barrington, Mass.) was credited with the assist.

The Raiders held the lead through the second period and into the third until Kristen Eklund connected with Elena Orlando at the 7:11 mark to tie the game at 1-1. Colgate continued to attack the Bobcats' net, outshooting them 14-8, but was unable to get the goal it needed to end the game in regular time.

The team carried its momentum into overtime and was rewarded shortly after at the 1:36 mark when senior Jessi Waters (Menlo Park, Calif.) received a pass from Klynstra and knocked it past Vigilanti to score the game-winner for the Raiders.

Lisa Plenderleith (Ajax, Ont.) had 20 saves, recording her first win and shut out of the season.

The Raiders will resume play next weekend when they return to the friendly confines of Starr Rink to face ECAC opponents Dartmouth and No. 9 Harvard on Friday, Nov. 5 and Saturday Nov. 6 respectively.
