WILLIAMSTOWN, MA – In the last home game of the regular
season, the Williams women's ice hockey team (3-17-2) was
defeated 3-0 in a hard-played game against Connecticut College
(7-11-4).
Play was relatively even over the course of the first period.
About halfway through the period, however, the Ephs found
themselves in penalty trouble, having been charged with two
consecutive penalties. The Camels quickly took advantage of this
opportunity to net their first goal of the game. Following a
scramble in front of the net, Emily Mason knocked in the puck to
put the Camels up 1-0. Mason was assisted by Kourtney Brim and Erin
Davey.
Despite outshooting the Camels 48 to 32 in the final two periods,
the Ephs were held scoreless. Connecticut College scored its second
goal of the game at the 7:22 mark in the second period when Abby
Hine, assisted by Courtney Smith, lifted the puck into the top
right corner of the net. Brigid O'Gorman netted the final
goal for the Camels at 13:52 in the third period. Having skated
past the Eph defense, O'Gorman sent the puck flying over
senior goaltender Denise McCulloch's (41 saves) left
shoulder. Kristen Van Slyke and Mason collected assists on the
play.
“I know it's tough for the seniors to go out on their
last home weekend this way, but they've put in an enormous
amount of effort, dedication, and leadership, particularly this
season. I am very proud of them. They are the core group
that's held this team together in what's panned out to
be a pretty difficult season,” said Coach Shannon Bryant
after the game.
The Ephs will be on the road for their final weekend of regular
season play. They face Wesleyan University on Friday, February 22
at 7:00 pm.
