HAMILTON, N.Y. (1/14/12) – The Colgate women's hockey team experienced its second setback of the weekend when it fell to ECAC Hockey foe Quinnipiac 4-1 at Starr Rink on Saturday afternoon.
 
Junior Brittany Phillips scored the lone goal for the Raiders to improve her total to 12 this season. She now has 25 points from 12 goals and 13 assists. Phillips also moves up to the ninth spot in program history with 78 career points and is now tied for eighth in career goals with 38.
 
The Bobcats set the tone early in the opening period, scoring three goals to take a 3-0 lead at the end of the first 20 minutes of play.  Despite Colgate (8-14-1, 3-8-1 ECAC Hockey) creating majority of the scoring opportunities in the first eight minutes of play, a penalty on the Raiders led to a power play goal by Quinnipiac 11 seconds later to give the team the 1-0 lead at the 8:52 mark. The Bobcats then went on to find a pair of goals at the 15:03 and 16:52 marks to increase their lead to 3-0. Both teams had eight shots in the stanza.
 
In the second frame, Colgate struck back to reduce the scoring margin to two goals. After holding Quinnipiac scoreless in its second power play opportunity of the game, the Raiders were able score on their first extra skater advantage at the 8:58 mark to put the score at 3-1. Junior Jenna Klynstra fired a shot on goal that deflected off the goalie and went just wide of the left post to Phillips, who the then lifted it into the top of the net. Sophomore Taylor Volpe was also credited with an assist. Colgate came close to reducing the Bobcats' lead once again during its third power play advantage late in the period with a series of shots right in front of the net, but the team could not get past goalie Chelsea Laden who was able to stand strong and keep the puck out of the net. The Raiders held an 11-6 shooting advantage in the second 20 minutes of play.
 
Colgate then went on to outshoot Quinnipiac 14-8 in the final period but despite coming close on several occasions, it was the Bobcats that were able to find a fourth goal early in the stanza to secure the 4-1 win.
 
Senior goalie Kimberly Sass and freshman goalie Susan Allen both saw time in net for the Raiders. Sass had five saves in the first period while Allen had a total of 13 stops in the second and third frames. Quinnipiac's Chelsea Laden had 32 saves in her fourth start of the season.
 
Colgate went 1-for-5 on the power play while the Bobcats scored once in their six extra skater advantages. The Raiders held a 33-22 shooting advantage in the game.
 
The team will resume play next weekend when it travels to Dartmouth and No. 10/10 Harvard for a pair of ECAC Hockey matchups on Friday, Jan. 20 and Saturday, Jan. 21 respectively.
