The Yale women’s hockey team comes into this weekend’s crucial road trip to Union and RPI on an offensive hot streak, having tallied seven goals in its last two games. And with the strong play of goalie Jackee Snikeris ’11, who has 30-plus saves in five of her last six games, the Bulldogs (5–9–1, 6–14–2 ECAC), who are currently five points out of the final ECAC playoff spot, hope to make up ground on the two teams they are trailing for that spot, Colgate and St. Lawrence.
Snikeris and the Bulldogs are coming off a big 4–0 win over Brown Wednesday night, a game in which forward Jackie Raines ’14 had two goals and an assist to lead Yale. Raines is second on the team in scoring with 14 points, just behind forward Bray Ketchum ’11 (17 points), who also lit the lamp Wednesday.
“We know that we aren’t going to get the pretty goals,” Ketchum said after Wednesday’s win. “The last couple games, we’ve been getting shots from everywhere. We’ve generated a lot of rebounds and have been able to capitalize on them.”
