Colgate Defeats Dutchwomen
HAMILTON, N.Y. –
The Colgate women's hockey team recorded its second shutout win of
the weekend when it defeated the Union Dutchwomen 1-0 on Saturday
afternoon at Starr Rink.
The first period started off even between the two teams as they
attacked each other's net. As the game progressed, it was Union
that began to generate its offense first, firing a series of shots
at Colgate's net but did not find success. Feeling the pressure,
the Raiders responded by turning the tables and forcing the
Dutchwomen to play defense. Their efforts soon paid off with a
short-handed goal at the 17:31 mark. Colgate's Hannah
Milan fired a shot that hit Kate
Gallagher's pads. Pollock pounced on the rebound and
knocked it past Gallagher to give Colgate the 1-0 lead.
In the second frame it was the Raiders that started off attacking
Union's net, creating a series of scoring opportunities but could
not find a second goal. The tone remained the same throughout the
period as Colgate outshot the Dutchwomen 15-4, and despite a
near-goal opportunity at the 17:41 when Colgate's Brittany
Phillips hit the pipe, the period remained
scoreless.
In the final frame both teams came out hungry for a goal, creating
numerous scoring opportunities on both ends of the ice. But like
the second period, neither team was able to find the net, resulting
in the Raiders defeating Union 1-0 for the second time this
season.
Sass had 17 saves for Colgate while Gallagher had 31 for the
Dutchwomen.
The Dutchwomen will return to home ice next Friday when they host
Yale at 7 pm.
