Oct. 29: Dartmouth College goaltender Lindsay Holdcroft turned in a 24-save performance on Saturday, backstopping the nationally-ranked No. 10 Big Green's women's hockey team to a 1-0 shutout over St. Lawrence University at Appleton Arena.

The Saints fall to 3-3-2 (0-2-0) on the season, while Dartmouth picks up its first win of the year and climbs to 1-1-1 (1-0-1).

"It certainly wasn't the weekend we were looking for, but both Harvard and Dartmouth are disciplined and talented teams and we didn't execute," said St. Lawrence head coach Chris Wells.  "We'll be ready to play next weekend in two big conference games for us."

Though Holdcroft posted the shutout, St. Lawrence rookie goalie Carmen MacDonald had an excellent afternoon in net as well with a 28-save showing with only one blemish while her team was on the penalty kill.

After a scoreless first period that saw Dartmouth outshoot the Saints 9-6, both teams posted 12 shots in the second stanza.  Though St. Lawrence had its share of quality tries, it was the Big Green who capitalized late in the period to take the 1-0 lead.  Sasha Nanji fired a shot towards MacDonald from the blue line that was partially blocked, but the puck bounced right to Reagan Fischer in the slot.  Fischer then quickly snapped a low shot that caught MacDonald out of position for her first of the year and the critical one-goal lead at 16:12.

The Saints nearly found themselves in a 3-0 hole after two periods, as Fischer hit two pipes in the stanza.  However, the score remained 1-0 heading to the third period.

Dartmouth continued to work the puck in the St. Lawrence zone and held an 8-6 edge in shots throughout the final frame.  The Saints worked in the final minute to get MacDonald off the ice in favor of an extra skater, but the Big Green continued to shut down their efforts.  Though the home team would eventually get the 6-on-5 advantage, the timing was too late and the clock ran out on a 1-0 Dartmouth win.

The Big Green finished with a 1-for-5 mark on the power play while the Saints closed at 0-for-6 which included a pair of 5-on-3 tries.

The Saints will look to get back on track next weekend when the team heads to Troy, NY on Friday, October 4 to take on Rensselaer at 7:00pm.
