Women's hockey earns first conference points
Issue date: 11/13/06 Section: Maine Sports
The University of Maine women's ice hockey team netted a pair of points this weekend, with two ties against the Providence Friars. The draws represent the first Hockey East points of the year for the Black Bears, who improved to 3-7-2, 0-4-2 in conference play, on the season.
Last night, sophomore goaltender Genevieve Turgeon turned in an outstanding performance with 46 saves to keep the Black Bears even with a potent Friars attack.
Providence struck first with a shorthanded tally from Kristin Gigliotti at the 4:11 mark. With just 15 seconds remaining in the period, UMaine's Sonia Corriveau buried the equalizer on the power play. Penalty killing was key in the contest as both squads combined to go 1-for-17 with the man advantage, including two chances in overtime.
Saturday night's series opener had an indentical score, ending in a 1-1 gridlock. UMaine got on the board first with Robyn Law lighting the lamp two minutes into the third period.
The Friars dashed the Black Bears' hopes for a win by finally beating senior goaltender Rachel Gettings with just 24 seconds left in the game. Gettings finished with 26 saves on the night.
UMaine returns to action on Nov. 24 when it visits Sacred Heart.
