Box Score

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – The Colgate women's hockey team dropped a 2-1 heartbreaker in overtime to Penn State on Saturday afternoon, just a mere 17-hours after the Raiders needed an extra period to defeat the Nittany Lions, 3-2 on Friday night.

Colgate (5-14-2) dominated the statistics sheet, outshooting the Nittany Lions 40-17. The Raiders posted double-digit shooting periods during three of the four frames, including a game-high 15 shots in the second period. The Raiders also fired off 28 of the game's first 37 shots.

"We didn't get the result we wanted to today against Penn State, but we played well enough to win," Colgate head coach Greg Fargo said. "Their goalie (Nicole Paniccia) came up with some critical saves that kept the game close. We played the game we wanted to play, we just didn't get the bounce or the big play we needed at the right time. We are looking forward to bouncing back against Syracuse at home on Tuesday night."

Despite the physical game, there was only one penalty called throughout the contest. The Raiders were charged with holding in the opening period, however, Penn State was unable to convert on the man-up opportunity.

Taylor Volpe completed her impressive weekend recording the Raiders' lone goal 10:24 into the second period. Volpe finished the two-game set against Penn State posting three goals, including the game-winner on Friday night. The senior also added an assist on the weekend. Taylor Craig was awarded the helper on Saturday in which Volpe scored her sixth of the season. The Tustin, Calif., native is now tied for leading the team with six goals.

Penn State (4-17-2) saw Hannah Hoenshell notch the game-winner 2:44 into overtime. Hoenshell also added a helper on Laura Bowman's tying goal in the second period. Amy Peterson registered an assist on both Nittany Lions' goals.

Following a scoreless opening period, the Raiders jumped out to a 1-0 lead after Craig connected with Volpe 10:24 into the second period firing one over the shoulder of Penn State's goaltender.

The Nittany Lions would respond, however, at the 18:05 mark when a Hoenshell pass deflected off Bowman's skate and into the back of the net.

Neither team was able to notch the go-ahead goal in the third period, which sent the game into overtime for the second time in as many games.

Hoenshell found herself on a fast break mid-way through the five-minute extra time and found an opening by sliding the puck past Colgate's netminder Brittney Brooks for the winning tally.

Penn State's goaltender Nicole Paniccia had a stellar game for the Nittany Lions stopping 39 of Colgate's 40 attempts for her first win of the season. Brooks recorded 15 stops in the loss.

Colgate returns to action Tuesday when it hosts near-by rival Syracuse at 7 p.m. The game will be televised live on Time Warner Cable Sports Channel.
