Trinity Women's Ice Hockey Earns Second Consecutive Comeback Win over Hamilton

Hartford, Conn. - Senior Michelle Chee (San Francisco, Calif.) scored midway through the final period to give the Trinity College Bantams a 3-2 win over the Hamilton College Continentals in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's ice hockey action this afternoon at Williams Rink. Trinity improves to 4-2 with the win, while Hamilton drops to 4-4 on the year.

Mirroring last night's match, in which Trinity came back for a 2-1 win in the game's final minute, Hamilton was first to strike, taking a 1-0 lead in the first period on a goal by sophomore Stephanie Miguel (Maple, Ontario), her team-high sixth of the season.

Trinity answered in the second period, tying the game on a goal by junior Britney McKenna (Rye, N.H.), however the Continentals would regain the lead just 1:22 later when Miguel would find the back of the net for the second time on the afternoon.

With the game in favor of the Continentals 2-1, the Bantams were able to capitalize on one of their 42 shots when sophomore Alexa Guglielmi (Rocky Hill, Conn.) managed to place the puck perfectly in the top right corner of the net, just out of the reach of Hamilton junior goalkeeper Meghan Shine (Duxbury, Mass.).

With just over ten minutes remaining in the game and the Bantams playing with a two-man advantage, Chee delivered what would be the eventual game-winning goal, giving Trinity their second comeback win over the Continentals in as many nights, both games being decided in the final period.

Shine didn't make it easy on the Bantam offense, racking up 39 saves, while Trinity junior goalkeeper Isabel Iwachiw (New York, N.Y.) did her part for the Bantams, blocking 25 attempts by the Continentals for the win.

The Bantams have a break in action until Monday, January 5 at 3 p.m. when they will participate in the Codfish Bowl Tournament at Mass.-Boston.
