Box Score

HAMILTON, N.Y. (1/30/2009) – The Colgate University women's hockey team extended it unbeaten streak in ECAC Hockey to eight games with a 1-1 tie against in-state rival Clarkson Friday night, at Starr Rink. 

Clarkson (13-8-5, 7-4-3) opened the scoring 12:03 in the first when Juana Baribeau snuck one past freshman goaltender Kimberly Sass (East Amherst, N.Y.). Sass had Baribeau's breakaway read well, but a late poke check from behind made Baribeau lose possession of the puck and watch it sneak past Sass. The Raiders out-shot Clarkson 13-6 in the period but went into the first intermission trailing 1-0.

 

Both squads went scoreless in the second but had plenty of chances as both goalies came up big. The Raiders went scoreless on five power-play opportunities in the period, as Clarkson tallied a 14-7 shot advantage.

 

Colgate (14-9-3, 8-4-3) lit the lamp registering a power-play tally at 4:20 in the third period to tie the score 1-1. Senior Clancy Todd (Thorold, Ont.) took a shot from the top slot that Clarkson goaltender Lauren Dahm stopped, but junior Beth Rotenberg (Toronto, Ont.) found the puck off the rebound and found the net to knot the score. This was Rotenberg's ninth goal and 18th point of the season. Sophomore Jessi Waters (Menlo Park, Calif.) was also credited with an assist.

 

In overtime Clarkson out-shot the Raiders 2-1, but it wasn't enough as the two teams tied for the third straight time.  

 

Colgate held a slight 34-27 edge in shots on net, with Sass making 26 saves and Dahm stopping 33.

 

Colgate went 1-for-9 on the power play and was a perfect 5-for-5 on the penalty kill.

 

The Raiders return to action tomorrow Saturday, Jan. 31 against No. 4 St. Lawrence at 4 p.m. The game will be covered live on Time Warner Sports.
