Red Hot Trinity Gets Win And Sweep Against Hamilton In Women's Ice Hockey

Box Score

Hartford, Conn. – Sophomore goalkeeper Alexa Pujol (New Canaan, Conn.) earned a shutout with 25 saves to lead the Trinity College Bantams to a 2-0 win over the Hamilton College Continentals in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's ice hockey action this afternoon on Williams Rink at the Koeppel Community Sports Center.  Trinity improves to 8-7 overall and evens its  NESCAC mark at 4-4 with their fifth straight win, while the Continentals drop to 6-8 overall, and 3-5 in the league.  Trinity, which downed Hamilton, 3-1, last night in Hartford, sweeps the two-game series while also jumping over the .500 mark for the first time since a 1-0 start to the year. Trinity has climbed back from a 1-6 start with a 7-1 record over its last eight games.

Trinity sophomore defender Sarah Duncan (Dedham, Mass.) scored the first goal of the game, beating Hamilton junior goalie Rebecca Hazlett (Grosse Pointe Park, Mich.) on a one-on-one over the backstop's left shoulder 4:44 into the game.  Shortly following a Continental penalty, Bantam senior tri-captain blueliner Dominique Di Dia (Los Angeles, Calif.) converted on an assist by junior defender Britney Ryan (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) to give Trinity a 2-0 lead with 2:03 left before the first break.

The defenses were both stingy in a scoreless second period, and Pujol stopped the closest scoring chance when she stymied Hamilton sophomore forward Nikki Haskins (Quincy, Mass.) on a breakaway with 2:20 on the clock.  Trinity sophomore Abby Ostrom (Carlisle, Mass.) hit iron from the left wing 12:27 into the third frame, before classmate Emily Kleidon (Oakdale, Minn.) poked in a shot from close for a Bantam insurance goal midway through the third.  Hazlett totaled 24 saves for the Continentals.
