PRINCETON, N.J. (11/19/11) – The Colgate women's hockey
team was able to rally from behind twice on Saturday afternoon to
eventually defeat Princeton 6-4 in its seventh ECAC Hockey matchup
of the season.
Sophomore Shannon Doyle led the Raiders with three points from two
goals and an assist while sophomores Rachel Walsh and Jocelyn
Simpson had two points each from one goal and one assist apiece.
Freshmen Melissa Kueber and Katie Case also recorded one tally each
for the team.
Colgate (5-8-1, 2-4-1 ECAC Hockey) came out to a strong start,
generating the first four shots of the game on net to force the
Tigers' goalie to make some saves. However, three minutes into
play, a checking penalty on the Raiders allowed Princeton to find
some offense and take shots at Colgate's net. The shooting momentum
then allowed the Tigers to find their first goal on a delayed
penalty at the 6:46 mark to take an early 1-0 lead. Princeton then
found a power play goal less than 60 seconds later to stretch its
lead to two goals. The Raiders continued to play hard and soon
found a break with an extra skater advantage midway through the
half but could not capitalize. It was Princeton that was able to
find success with a third goal at the 13:26 mark, and despite an
offensive surge from Colgate in the final minutes of the stanza,
ended the first period with a three-goal lead.
The Raiders had an explosive start in the second frame, finding a
power play goal from Kueber just 1:46 into play to put the score at
3-1. The senior was assisted by Walsh and Doyle. As the period
progressed, both teams took turns firing shots at net as they
tested the goalies but by the midway point, the score remained 3-1
to the Tigers. Colgate then found its offensive rhythm once
again and its persistence resulted in a pair of goals at the 14:17
and 15:24 marks from Walsh and Doyle to tie the game at 3-3 going
into the final period. Walsh was assisted by Simpson and senior
co-captain Amanda Kirwan, while Doyle had help from sophomore
Taylor Volpe.
In the final frame it looked like the Princeton would be able to
secure the win when it scored an early fourth goal 4:54 into play
to reclaim their lead 4-3. However, the goal did not discourage the
Raiders, who then found an equalizer at the 7:35 mark courtesy of
Simpson to tie the game at 4-4. Colgate continued to attack the
Tigers' net aggressively and was eventually rewarded with a goal at
the 16:55 mark by Case with help from junior Jessica Hootz, and
then again with a second tally from Doyle on an empty net with an
assist from senior goalie Kimberly Sass at the 19:30 mark, to
eventually secure its second league win 6-4.
Sass had a total of 25 saves for the Raiders while Rachel Weber had
32 stops for Princeton. Colgate outshot the Tigers 38-29 in the
game. Both teams went 2-for-6 on the power play.
The Raiders will resume play on Tuesday, Nov. 22 with a
non-conference matchup against Robert Morris at 7 p.m. in Starr
Rink.
