SYRACUSE, N.Y. (1/4/11) – The Colgate
women's ice hockey team played to its first tie of the season
against Syracuse, 4-4, on Tuesday night. This was the Raiders'
final non-conference game of the season.
Sophomores Jenna
Klynstra and Brittany
Phillips recorded three points each for the Raiders.
Klynstra had two goals and one assist while Phillips had three
assists. Freshman Rachel
Walsh and classmate Jocelyn
Simpson also registered one goal apiece, with Walsh also
adding an assist for two points.
Colgate (6-12-1, 3-5 ECAC) came out to an offensive start, firing
the first shot of the game and creating several scoring
opportunities, but could not find the net. Syracuse soon found its
momentum, taking a flurry of shots on net during a series of power
plays. However, it was Colgate that was able to find success first
during a power play at the 16:02 mark. Klynstra connected on a pass
from sophomore Phillips and slammed it home to give the Raiders the
1-0 lead going into the second period. Walsh was also credited with
the assist.
The Orange came out strong in the second frame, scoring an
equalizer just 2:35 into play to tie the game at 1-1 with a
power-play goal. Both teams continued to play aggressively but it
was Syracuse that found the net once again at the 11:46 to take the
lead for the first time in the game.
With a one-goal deficit going into the final period, the Raiders
came out looking to score. After ten minutes of hard work, the team
was finally rewarded with an equalizer from Simpson with assists
from Phillips and junior Amanda
Kirwan to put the score at 2-2. Now on fire, Colgate
continued its offensive momentum, scoring twice more at the 15:18
and 17:52 marks both off power plays, to take a two-goal lead with
just two minutes left. The first was a goal by Walsh with help from
Klynstra and senior Jessi
Waters and the second was scored by Klynstra who was
assisted by Phillips and Waters once again. However, despite a 4-2
disadvantage in the final minutes of play, Syracuse was able to
find two late goals at the 18:29 and 19:18 marks to tie the game
once more and send it into overtime.
Both teams battled it out in the overtime period, forcing both
goaltenders to make one impressive save after another. But after
five minutes of play both teams were forced to settle with a 4-4
tie.
Colgate finished 3-of-7 on the power play, while holding the
Orange to just one goal in eight opportunities. Senior Lisa
Plenderleith and junior Kimberly
Sass both saw time in net for the Raiders. Plenderleith
had 10 saves while Sass had 18. Kallie Billadeau had 28 saves for
the Orange.
The team will resume play this weekend with two ECAC Hockey games
on the road. Colgate will first travel to Providence, R.I. for a
matchup against Brown on Friday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. before taking on
Yale on Saturday, Jan. 8 at 4 p.m. in New Haven, Conn.
