Hartford, Conn. – The Trinity College Bantams and the Connecticut College Camels played to a 1-1 draw in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's ice hockey action this afternoon at Williams Rink in the Koeppel Community Sports Center. Trinity moves to 1-0-1 overall and in the NESCAC, having won last night, 3-0, in the two-game series opener.  The visiting Camels are now 0-1-1 overall and in the league. 

Moments before the close of what appeared to be a scoreless first period, Trinity sophomore forward Lucy Robinson (Toronto, Ontario) gave the Bantams a 1-0 lead on a strange play that saw Connecticut College senior goaltender Amy Leichliter (West Chester, Pa.) leave the puck unattended for a Camel skater before Robinson raced to it and flipped it past her with 3.6 seconds left on the clock during a Connecticut College power play.  The score remained the same through the second stanza and well into the third, but Camel junior forward Courtney Dumont (Lewiston, Maine) came up with the puck right in front of the Trinity net after a scrum in the right corner and stuffed it past Bantam junior goalie Alexa Pujol (New Canaan, Conn.) to tie the game at 1-1 with 4:39 left in regulation.

Sophomore defender Lily Gacicia (Milton, Mass.) nearly scored on a pair of close shots with just over a minute left in the third frame, but both were stopped by Leichliter.  In overtime, Camel junior forward Jen Morgan (Orange, Conn.) rifled a shot from straight on that Pujol stopped with a kick save to her right, and Bantam junior forward Emily Kleidon (Oakdale, Minn.) missed wide with Trinity's closest chance from the left wing during a Bantam power play with 1:20 remaining in the extra period.  Pujol made 24 saves and Leichliter had 26 stops, and the teams combined to 0-for-8 on power plays.
