Women's Hockey Secures Second Straight Mayors' Cup Victory

ALBANY, N.Y. – The Union College women's hockey team earned its second straight Mayor's Cup victory with a 4–3 win Saturday afternoon at MVP Arena.

Sophomore Jill Willis opened the scoring with an assist from classmate Peyton O'Neill. O'Neill then notched her first collegiate goal, assisted by junior Maddie Leaney and first-year Megan Duplantie, to close out the first period. Junior Mikayla Blomquist added a goal in the second with help from sophomore Hayley Kelleher, before sophomore Karianne Engelbert capped the period's scoring with the eventual game-winning goal on the power play, assisted by senior captain Stephanie Bourque.

Willis got Union on the board at 2:40 of the first period before the Engineers tied the game one minute later. Rensselaer briefly took the lead just under five minutes later, but O'Neill answered to tie the contest at two with five minutes remaining in the period.

Blomquist scored with five minutes left in the second period, and Engelbert followed with a goal in the final 31 seconds to give Union a 4–2 advantage.

The Engineers pulled within one late in the third period on a six-on-five power-play goal after pulling their goaltender for an extra attacker, but Union held on for the victory.

Junior goaltender Monja Wagner made 22 saves in the win.
