Bobcats Remain Unbeaten in ECAC Hockey, Blank Yale
HAMDEN, Conn. – Senior defender Jordan Elkins (Wasilla,
Alaska) netted her third goal in as many games and junior
goaltender Victoria Vigilanti (Woodbridge, Ontario) collected her
third shutout of the season, as the two helped the Quinnipiac
women’s ice hockey team continue its strong start in ECAC
Hockey action, shutting out Yale, 3-0, on Friday evening at High
Point Solutions Arena. The win improves Quinnipiac’s ECAC
Hockey record to 3-0 (4-5 overall), while Yale falls to 0-3 in ECAC
Hockey Action and 0-6 overall.
The Bobcats netted their first goal on the Elkins tally at the
13:51 mark into the first period. Senior defender Melissa Perry
(Chelsea, Mich.) got a stick on a rebound off a shot from sophomore
forward Kelly Babstock (Mississauga, Ontario) and pushed it up ice
to the Wasilla native, who then blasted a shot from the blue line
past Yale’s senior goaltender Genny Ladiges. The goal for
Elkins was her third of the season, while the assists for Perry and
Babstock were their second and fourth, respectively.
Quinnipiac jumped out to the 2-0 lead just 44 seconds into the
second period of play of a score from junior defender Regan Boulton
(Brandon, Manitoba), her first tally of the season. Sophomore
forward Amanda Colin’s (Burnsville, Minn.) shot was collected
by the defender, who skated around the net to tap in the early
goal. On the score, freshman Nicole Kosta (Mississauga, Ontario)
earned her first of two assists in the game.
The Bobcats continued to pressure the net, finding their third
score at the 9:03 mark into the frame on Colin’s second goal
of the year. Ladiges was once again unable to contain the outside
shot from Elkins and allowed the rebound to fall at the feet of
Colin who would not waste her opportunity. Elkins and Kosta each
earned an assist on the goal.
Vigilanti had a relatively quite night in net, turning away all 13
shots faced in the contest. Ladiges made 41 saves in goal for
Yale.
Quinnipiac was whistled for two penalties on the evening, while
Yale was called for five penalties.
Quinnipiac returns to action tomorrow afternoon, Saturday, Nov. 5,
when it hosts ECAC Hockey opponent Brown at 4 p.m.
