Box Score

CANTON, N.Y. (1/28/12) – The Colgate women's hockey team dropped its second ECAC Hockey matchup of the weekend on Saturday afternoon when it fell to St. Lawrence 6-0 in Appleton Arena.

Senior Kimberly Sass had 34 saves in the game. She now has a total of 714 saves this season.
 
St. Lawrence came out to an early lead in the first period, scoring the opening goal just 3:49 into play to take a 1-0 lead. Despite creating majority of the shots on net and holding the Saints scoreless in the first power play opportunity of the game, Colgate (8-18-1, 3-12-1 ECAC Hockey) was unable to find an equalizer in the first twenty minutes of play.
 
Trailing by one, the Raiders were determined to turn things around in the second frame. However, this time around it was St. Lawrence that created most of the scoring opportunities, outshooting Colgate 22-5 in the second stanza. The shooting advantage gave way to three goals for the Saints. The first tally was just seven seconds into play, the second was at the 13:25 mark and the third was less than a minute later, to increase St. Lawrence's lead to 4-0.
 
The Saints then went on to score twice more in the final period to secure a 6-0 shutout win.
 
Kimberly Sass had 34 saves for the Raiders while St. Lawrence's Carmen MacDonald had 20. Colgate was not able to score on its two power play opportunities while the Saints went 3-for-7 on the extra skater advantage.

The Raiders will resume play at home next weekend with a pair of ECAC Hockey contests against Union and Rensselaer on Feb. 3 and 4 respectively. Friday's game against Union will launch Colgate's 2012 Autism Awareness Project with its Light Up Starr Rink Blue event.
