Trinity Women's Ice Hockey Completes Sweep of Hamilton

Hartford, Conn. – The Trinity women's ice hockey team picked up a tidy 3-1 win over the visiting Hamilton College Continentals in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's ice hockey action this afternoon on Williams Rink in the Koeppel Community Sports Center.  Trinity improves to 7-5-3 overall and 3-4-1 in the NESCAC with their third straight win and Hamilton drops to 5-8-2 overall and 0-6-2 in the league.

It was déjà vu for the Trinity offense, which started the night identically to last night's game in the series opener, as Trinity's leading scorer, sophomore Emma Tani (Orange, Calif.) got the Bantams out to a quick start, with a goal just 1:06 into the game.  Hamilton's leading scorer, first-year Katie Parkman (Stratford, Ontario), kept pace with Tani, tying the game at 1-1 with her second goal in as many nights.

With the score tied, rookie Andi Nicholson (Grafton, Mass.) netted the first goal of her collegiate career to give the Bantams a 2-1 edge, and all the offense they would need in the game.  Trinity added an insurance score with less than three minutes to play in the second when junior Lauren Fitzgerald (Milton, Mass.) netted her fourth goal of the season, and her third in the last three games.  Like yesterday, Hamilton's offense applied pressure in the third period, but Trinity senior goalie Kristen Maxwell (Nashville, Tenn.) stopped 12 of 12 shots in the frame to keep the Hamilton offense at bay.

Maxwell finished the game with 21 saves, while Hamilton junior goaltender Sarah Schuchardt (Verona, Wisc.) made 18 saves in net for the Continentals.  

Trinity will host Div. 1 Sacred Heart University, this Tues., Jan. 28, at 7:30 p.m.  The game will be webcast live at www.trincoll.edu/livevideo.
