Women's Hockey Skates to Tie With Amherst

Box Score

Amherst, Mass. - Neither team was able to record the game-winner after finding the back of the net in the second period, as the Trinity College women's hockey team played conference rival Amherst College to a 1-1 tie Saturday evening at Orr Rink. With the deadlock, Amherst moves to 1-2-1 on the year while the Bantams move to 1-4-1 overall and to 1-3-1 in New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) play.

After a scoreless first period, Trinity claimed a 1-0 lead 5:15 into the second stanza. Winning the draw and sending the puck towards goal, Tasha Adams (Reston, Va.) connected with sophomore forward Chandler Solimine (Pelham, N.Y.) who beat a defender to the puck and sent a low line drive into the corner of the back of the net.

Amherst nearly evened the score with 13:37 on the clock as Jocelyn Hunyadi (Pepper Pike, Ohio) and Katelyn Pantera (North Branford, Conn.) sped into the offensive end on a 2-on-1.Hunyadi ripped a shot on goal that deflected off the goalie before Pantera sent the rebound over the goal line, however the referees determined the whistle had blown prior to the score.  Responding just over three minutes later, Sara Culhane (Princeton, N.J.) tallied her first goal the season at the 8:34 mark to even the contest at 1-1. 

Opening the third period strong, Trinity's Hannah Oganeku (Castle Pines, Colo.) logged a solid scoring chance for the Bantams 1:25 into the stanza. Finding the loose puck in the high slot, Oganeku blasted a slap shot on goal through traffic, but Amherst goalkeeper Bailey Plaman (Bloomington, Minn.) got her shoulder on the attempt to turn it away. Neither team could break ahead for the remainder of the period, sending the game to overtime.

Both teams sent one shot on target in the overtime period, but the goalkeepers were up to the task as the game concluded in a 1-1 draw.
