CANTON, NY— Union scored the first goal of the game, and the defense didn't allow any goals for the Saints in the first two periods, but a goal for the home team in the third period forced the game into overtime in Canton. The tie game gives the Union College women's hockey team a 2-11-3 overall record on the season (2-3-1 ECAC Hockey). 

Sophomore Maia Martinez scored her second on the season to be the lone Dutchwoman to get on the board. With the goal, the third of her career, Martinez has already doubled her goal total from last season.

• 14:41 3rd (SLU 1-1): Anna Segedi scored for the Saints to tie the game at 1. Skylar Podvey was credited with an assist on the play. This goal was the game-tying goal that forced the game into overtime.
