BOSTON, Mass. (10/8/11) – The Colgate women's hockey team suffered its second set back of the season on Saturday afternoon, when it fell to Northeastern 5-0 at Matthews Arena.
 
Senior goaltender Kimberly Sass had yet another impressive showing with a total of 38 saves in the game, 14 of which were in the second period.
 
The Huskies got out on top early with a goal at the 2:09 mark to take a 1-0 lead. As the period progressed, Northeastern continued to hold a shooting advantage, finding a second goal nine minutes later to increase its lead to 2-0, which it held till the end of the first 20 minutes of play.
 
In the second period, Colgate (0-2) picked up its pace, playing some tough defense and generating some offense in an attempt to relieve some of the pressure on net. Despite Northeastern taking 15 shots in the period, the Raiders were able to limit their opponent to only one goal in the second frame while taking nine shots on the Huskies' net.
 
The third period was a very physical one that resulted in eight penalties being called over the 20 minutes of play. Colgate played yet another strong defensive period, dropping down to a 5-on-3 disadvantage at one point, but was able to hold Northeastern off during that time. However, despite all their efforts, the Huskies were able to find two late goals, one of which was on a power play, to eventually win the game 5-0.
 
The Raiders were outshot 43-19. Northeastern's Florence Schelling had 19 saves in the game.
