Schenectady, NY (Oct. 24, 2004) The goal judge lights might have to be changed at Messa Rink after Elise Nichols (Pittsfield, MA) lit the lamp with a school record four goals, including one short-handed, in Union's 7-1 victory over Sacred Heart Sunday afternoon for the team's second win in a row.  Union stormed the Pioneers net with a 27-6 shot advantage over the first two periods as they pulled even at 2-2-0 on the season.

Meghan O'Connor (Portsmouth, RI) got Union going with a first period, power play goal at 9:54.  O'Connor took a pass from Courtney Chais (Plantation, FL) between the face-off circles and beat Sacred Heart goaltender Sarah Perry to the right side.  Two minutes later Nichols got what proved to be the game-winner with her first goal of the game, hitting the same spot on goal as O'Connor. 

Senior Erin Vehec (Washingtonville, NY) also had a successful day for the Dutchwomen with a goal and four assists, including Nichols game-winner.  Vehec scored Union's third goal of the game at 3:14 of the second period on one of two assists for Ashley Kilstein (Cherry Hill, NJ). 

Sacred Heart spoiled Union goaltender Lauren Carlson's (Rochelle, IL) chance for a shutout three minutes after Vehec's tally with a goal from Michelle Panella who skated across the front of the goal and buried a shot just inside the right post past Carlson.
