Ephs and Bantams split weekend doubleheaderWilliams Sports Info

HARTFORD, CT - While the penalty kill was the women's hockey team's best friend yesterday afternoon, it was their worst enemy today, as the Ephs allowed three power-play goals on the first three man-advantages of the game en route to a 4-1 loss to Trinity in the second game of this weekend's NESCAC doubleheader. With the win, Trinity (8-5-2) snaps a five game losing streak, and jumps back over the Ephs in the NESCAC division for third place with a 5-4-1 conference record. Williams drops to 6-9-1 with the loss and 4-4-1 in the NESCAC.
Two of the three early power-play goals came courtesy of Bantam sophomore forward Kim Weiss at 3:53 and 14:37 of the opening period. Weiss added another goal to ice the game and complete the hat trick with just under three minutes left in the final period. She now has a team-leading 10 goals and 17 points on the year. Sandwiched between her first two goals was another Bantam power-play goal scored by sophomore defenseman Laura Komarek at 9:36, her 5th netter on the season.
Eph netminder Sara Plunkett did all she could, having to deal with seven Trinity power-play chances and 32 Bantam shots, but she was outplayed today by opposing goalie Isabel Iwachiw, who allowed just one goal on 27 Eph shots. The lone score came towards the middle of the second period when junior forward Tracey Ferriter covereted a 5-on-3 short-handed goal for the Ephs on a breakaway opportunity. The goal marks Ferriter's team-leading 10th of the season. Ironically, Williams generated twice as many shots as they did in yesterday's contest, but came up with less than half the results.
Trinity will have their hands full Wednesday when they host Manhattanville, the No. 10 team in the nation. Meanwhile, Williams will travel to Middlebury that day to battle conference rivals Middlebury, who they dropped their home-ice season opener to by a 5-1 score. Hopefully, the Ephs can rediscover the effective, goal-generating penalty kill they had on Friday for this week's game, or better yet, avoid the penalty box all together. NESCAC action begins at 7:00pm.
