Hartford, Conn. – The visiting Trinity College Bantams dropped a 2-0 decision against the Connecticut College Camels in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) women's ice hockey action this afternoon.  Trinity, falls to 4-7 overall and 0-6 in the NESCAC, while the Camels, who won last night's meeting between the teams, improve to 4-5-1 overall and 2-3-1 in the league with the home two-game sweep. 

The first period was scoreless despite 17 shots against Trinity sophomore goaltender Sydney Belinskas (Port Orange, Fla.) including several in the final two minutes of play.  The Camels broke through 2:26 into the second period on a power play, as first-year forward Jordan Cross (Saugus, Mass.) scored on a rebound.  Trinity sophomore defender Tasha Adams (Reston, Va.) caromed a bouncing wrist shot off the post midway through the second period, and the Bantams sent a barrage of shots at Camel junior backstop Katherine Chester (Mendham, N.J.) in the final two minutes of the second frame but could not get the puck past.

Trinity came up empty on its fourth of five power plays early in the third period, and Cross fed fellow rookie Elena Gualtieri (Rome, N.Y.) for an insurance goal with 4:35 remaining in to the contest.  The Bantams pulled Belinskas with 1:44 on the clock and were aided by a Camel roughing call at the one-minute mark, but Chester came up big for Connecticut College and earned a shutout with 37 saves.  Belinskas finished with 28 stops.
