Jan. 14: The St. Lawrence University women's hockey team
continued their winning ways on Saturday afternoon as the Saints
finished with four power play goals en route to a 7-1 victory over
Yale University in New Haven, CT.
The Scarlet and Brown improve to 13-7-3 (7-4-1) having won for the
seventh straight time. The Bulldogs drop to 1-17-0 (1-10-0)
after being outshot 52-17.
"We had another strong effort from many players on our team," said
St. Lawrence head coach Chris Wells, whose team will square off in
a home-and-home weekend with archrival Clarkson next Friday and
Saturday. "We were able to continue our solid play, and it
looks to be a great weekend of hockey next weekend."
St. Lawrence controlled the tempo against Yale from the get-go,
building up an impressive 21-6 advantage in shots on goal in both
the first and second periods. Captain Karell Emard opened the
scoring at 9:00 of the first period, while senior Vanessa Emond
made it 2-0 only 4:23 later.
Though Yale would get on the scoreboard on the power play at 16:43
to cut its deficit to 2-1 at intermission thanks to a power play
goal by Aleca Hughes, the home team was overmatched throughout the
remainder of the game, giving up five straight goals.
Emond opened the second period scoring only 1:06 in on the power
play, while sophomore Rylee Smith picked up her 10th goal of the
year at 5:11 for a 4-1 lead. Junior Kelly Sabatine and
first-year student Amanda Boulier would cap the scoring with power
play goals at 9:12 and 17:30, respectively, to push the Saint lead
to 6-1 after two periods.
Junior defenseman Brooke Fernandez would add her eighth goal of the
season early in the third period to finish the game's scoring at
7-1.
St. Lawrence closed with a 4-of-6 mark on the power play, while
Yale was 1-for-3. Genny Ladiges made 45 saves in the loss for
the Bulldogs, while rookie Carmen MacDonald and sophomore Caitlyn
Lahonen combined for 16 saves in the win. MacDonald was
credited with the victory having made 11 stops in two periods,
while Lahonen made five saves in relief.
Emond (2g,1a) and Sabatine (1g,2a) both had three points for St.
Lawrence while Boulier and Smith both finished with a goal and a
helper each. Dayle Wilkinson, Michelle Ng, Jessica Hon, Jessa
McAuliffe, Bailey Habscheid and Elli Williams each had one assist
in the victory.
The Saints will host Clarkson on Friday, January 20 at 7:00pm at
Appleton Arena. The two teams will then head to Cheel Arena
in Potsdam on Saturday for a 3:30pm start.
