SCHENECTADY – Union senior goaltender Lundy Day made 43 saves in a 2-1 loss to Colgate on Friday, Feb. 20, at Messa Rink. All three goals in the game were scored on the power play. The Dutchwomen now stand at 2-28-3 overall and 0-20-1 in ECAC Hockey play, while the Raiders improve to 18-11-3 overall and 12-6-3 in the conference.

 

After a scoreless first period, Union got on the board first with a goal 12:49 into the second. Freshman Kelly Alyea dished the puck to classmate Lauren Hoffman, who shot from the top of slot. The puck bounced off the shoulder of a Colgate defender, tricking Raider goalie Kimberly Sass.

 

Less than five minutes later, Colgate responded to tie the game at 1-1. Marissa Dombovy beat Day, a Patty Kazmaier Award candidate, off feeds from Evan Minnick and Beth Rotenberg. The same three Raiders struck again 7:45 into the third period, as Dombovy and Minnick set up Rotenberg for the go-ahead goal.

 

Union put Day on the bench in favor of an extra skater over the final two minutes of the game, but could not score the equalizer. Union finished 1-for-7 on the power play, while Colgate was 2-for-6. Sass registered 21 saves in net for the Raiders.

 

The Dutchwomen return to Messa Rink for their final game of the season on Saturday. Union will take on Cornell starting at 4:00 p.m.
