Women's Hockey has their win streak snapped as they fall to Neumann 4-2
Williams Sports Info 09:49AM / Monday, January 19, 2009
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. - The Ephs three-game winning streak was finally broken by the Neumann College Knights this evening at the Chapin Ice Rink as the Ephs suffered their eighth loss of the year by a 4-2 score. Williams (4-8-1) had entered tonight's action victorious in four of their last six games, including 7-0 and 6-0 shut-out wins over Castleton and Colby, respectively. But the Neumann squad (7-7-0) and their sophomore goalie Mel Brunet battled hard to claim the win, as she thwarted 33 Eph shot attempts including several scoring chances in front of the net in the early going.
The Knights offensive charge was lead by Nikki Blazenko, who converted two chances in the first period. The first came off a move from behind the net, and was stuffed in on her backhand at 2:53. Then Neumann capitalized on the power play off of a failed clearing attempt, which set up a 3-on-2 down low and Blazenko's second goal at 7:00. Both goals were assisted by fellow sophomore forward Jessica Schroeder. The game winner came via a loose-puck scramble in front of the Williams net, and was knocked in by junior forward Holly Williams, her fourth on the season.
Williams co-captain and senior forward Sam Tarnasky played another strong game, earning the first Eph goal on a two-man advantage, as well as an assist on Sarah Herr's power-play goal early in the third period. The latter marked the first of the freshman defenseman's college career.
The Ephs resume play tomorrow afternoon against Neumann once more, and they will definitely have to bring a more focused defensive effort to that game in order to come away with the win. The puck drops at 3:00pm at the Chapin Ice Rink.
