MANCHESTER, NH – The Williams women's ice hockey
team (1-6) lost a hard fought game to Manhattanville College (7-2)
this afternoon, by a score of 3-2, in the St. Anselm
tournament.
The game remained scoreless until the start of the second period
when Shannon Coffey scored at 1:03 for the Valiants. She was
assisted by Danielle Nagymarosi and Danielle Mazurek. Junior Sam
Tarnasky, who leads the team in points, quickly answered for the
Ephs, netting an assist from sophomore Kait O'Brien on the
power play.

ahead. Shortly thereafter, Nagymarosi notched the eventual game
winner, with Coffey and Carina von Bredow picking up assists.
The Ephs continued to battle, with Junior Catherine Mullen bringing
the Ephs within one with less than three minutes left in the game.

Lauren Zurek. Manhattanville's defense held the Eph's
at bay for the remainder of the game to collect the win.
Senior goaltender Denise McCulloch made 23 saves in goal for the
Ephs.
Commenting on the game, Coach Shannon Bryant said, “We had a
decent game. We played very well. We worked hard and competed and
stuck with it. And I think that's a good sign for us for
January.”
The Ephs will take on the undefeated St. Anselm Hawks tomorrow at
3:00 pm.
