Five games in nine days is a tough test for any team, but it is one the Yale women’s hockey team has passed with flying colors.
The Bulldogs (7–14–3, 6–9–2 ECAC) are unbeaten (2–0–1) in its last three games, its first streak since November. The team will have to pass another test this weekend when they travel to No. 2 Cornell and Colgate as they try to make up the mere two points in the ECAC standings they need to get back into the playoff picture.
In their last outing, the Bulldogs pulled off a brilliant third-period comeback against an R.P.I. team (10–12–7, 8–8–2) that is currently holding down the seventh spot in the ECAC standings, just four points ahead of the Blue and White. In that game, Jenna Ciotti ’14 tallied the game-tying goal, completing a six-point, five-goal week in which she earned both ECAC Player of the Week and Rookie of the Week honors. Before that, Ciotti and her teammates had experienced an offensive explosion, lighting the lamp 11 times in just three games. Perhaps most revealing of the Bulldogs’ progress this season, however, is that the tie in Troy avenged a 4–1 loss at the hands of the Engineers earlier this season.
