HARRISVILLE, R.I. – The Saint Anselm College women’s ice hockey team scored three goals in the second period en route to a 7-2 ECAC East victory over Nichols College at June Rockwell Levy Rink Friday evening. The Hawks were led by a pair of goals from freshman forward Aly Zappen (Huntington Beach, Calif.).
Nichols (1-15-1, 0-12-1 ECAC East) took a 1-0 lead at the 6:07 mark when junior forward Candice Ellis (Gloucester, Mass.) found a loose puck among a scrum of players at the right post and snuck a backhander into the upper corner.
The Hawks (12-5-1, 10-4-0 ECAC East) responded with a pair of goals to take a 2-1 lead into the first intermission. Zappen evened the score at 9:42 when she tapped in a loose puck past Nichols netminder Christine Rigosi (Ridgewood, N.Y.), who was sprawled out to cover the puck. Kelsey Johnson (Byfield, Mass.) pushed Saint Anselm ahead with her seventh goal of the season at 15:29, flipping in a pass across the crease from Cierra Romaldo (Chuluota, Fla.) into the left side of the net.
Bridget Sylvester (Randolph, N.J.) started the Hawks’ three-goal second period just 1:03 in the frame with assists from Marissa Serafino (Rutland, Vt.) and Kathleen Twomey (Londonderry, N.H.). Romaldo added a power-play tally 2:08 later when she one-timed a centering pass from behind the net by Johnson from the doorstep. Molly Corl (Danvers, Mass.) fired a short-handed wrister from the high slot past Rigosi at 7:39.
The Hawks added a pair in the third courtesy of Zappen and Michelle Lacombe (Delafield, Wisc.) before the Bison’s Cheryl Winter ( Cupertino, Calif.) recorded her first goal of the season with just over four minutes to play when she tucked a backhander into the upper right corner from the right netfront. Allison Peters (Westford, Mass.) and Mandy Manopla (Wellington, Fla.) earned assists on the play.
Rigosi made 34 saves in just under 47 minutes before giving way to junior goaltender Melissa Mansfield (Medford, N.Y.), who allowed one goal and made six saves in the remaining 13 minutes. The Hawks’ netminder Carley Berry (Danvers, Mass.) stopped 25 shots.
Nichols is back in action against New England College Saturday at 8:30 p.m.
