SCHENECTADY, NY -- The Union College women’s ice hockey team plays its third and fourth straight home games by welcoming Harvard on Friday and Dartmouth on Saturday to Messa Rink. Union carries a 2-21-3 record with a 0-13-1 ECAC Hockey mark, while Harvard is 8-7-3 and 8-4-2 and Dartmouth is 12-6-2 and 9-3-2. The Dutchwomen only have eight games remaining in their season and after this weekend their only home contests are on Feb. 20 against Colgate and Feb. 21 against Cornell, closing out the season.

Despite two losses to No. 4 St. Lawrence (4-1) and Clarkson (3-0) during the weekend, the Dutchwomen are making strives in their performances. Since the New Year, Union has not lost by more than three goals and has been competitive in every outing. Against St. Lawrence on Friday, freshman Lauren Cromartie gave Union an early 1-0 lead. Although Union would eventually lose, senior Lundy Day make 36 saves. Against Clarkson on Saturday, Day made 43 saves for her ninth 40-plus save effort of the season.

With a goal against St. Lawrence, Cromartie gained control of the top spot on Union’s scoring list. This season she has tallied four goals and four assists for eight points. Four other student-athletes sit right behind her with seven points each. They include junior Jackie Koetteritz, Marissa Gentile and Lauren Hoffman and Adelle Calahan.
