Hartford, Conn. -  Junior Laura Komarek (Plymouth, Minn.) scored a goal and collected two assists to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 5-3 victory over the visiting Colby College Mules in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's ice hockey action this evening at Williams Rink.  Trinity, ranked No. 5 in the nation, improves to 14-1-2 overall and 7-1-2 in the NESCAC with its 11th win in a row, while the Mules drop to 2-10-5 overall and 0-6-3 in the league. 

Sophomore defender Julie Pesta (Oxford, Penn.) got the scoring started 2:30 into the game to give the Bantams a quick 1-0 lead.  Senior forward tri-captain Kaitlyn Conway (Andover, Mass.) answered for Colby just 33 seconds later, tying the game at one apiece.  Trinity would regain the lead less than a minute later, when freshman defender Britney Ryan (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) was able to find the back of the net to give the Bantams a 2-1 edge. 

Trinity opened the second period with goals from senior forward Britney McKenna (Rye, N.H.) and the eventual game-winner from junior Sarah Kohn (Winchester, Mass.), to give the Bantams some breathing space and a 4-1 lead.  Colby closed out the period strong with two straight goals from junior forward tri-captain Stephanie Scarpato (Osterville, Mass.), the second of which coming with 20 seconds remaining in the period.  Holding a 4-3 lead throughout the third period, Komarek helped seal the win for the Bantams, scoring a power play goal with 1:38 showing on the clock. 

Trinity senior tri-captain goalkeeper Isabel Iwachiw (New York, N.Y.) made 21 saves for the Bantams, while Colby junior goalkeeper Loni Pisani (Kanata, Ontario) blocked 47 of 52 Trinity shots.
