The University of Maine women's ice hockey team dropped a pair of road games this weekend to nationally ranked St. Lawrence University (SLU). Maine went to 1-16-2 overall on the season, while St. Lawrence improved to 13-3-0.
On Friday, with Sarah Bishop in goal, the Black Bears dropped a 2-0 decision. In the first period, Bishop stopped all but one shot, coming at 7:40 into the period when Marianna Locke put a shot on net. Britni Smith and Annie Guay assisted on the play. The SLU Saints outshot UMaine 18-8 in the first period.
In the second period, St. Lawrence kept the pressure on UMaine, putting 27 shots on goal, but only converting one. Chelsea Grills scored at 9:24 into the period to put the Saints ahead 2-0. UMaine was outshot 27-4.
In the final period, Bishop didn't let another goal through, but UMaine's offense couldn't convert. The offense did pick up at the beginning of the period and had two separate 5-on-3 opportunities, but wasn't able to put any on net. UMaine outshot the Saints 11-9 in the third period, but the game would end 2-0. Bishop totaled 52 saves on the night. St. Lawrence goaltender Meaghan McGuckain tallied 23 saves in the shutout.
In the final game of the weekend series, UMaine started off slow and couldn't recover. St. Lawrence started the scoring when Locke scored at 4:17 into the period with a pass from Sabrina Harbec. Locke scored her second goal three minutes later on a powerplay at 7:46 into the period. Harbec and Carson Duggan assisted on the play. Alison Domenico of the Saints got the second powerplay goal of the period at 14:25 into the period. Brittaney Maschmeyer assisted on the play. Lisa Batchelor tapped in the final goal of the period with 50 seconds remaining. Karell Emard and Kirsten Roach assisted on the play. The Saints outshot the Black Bears 11-3 in the period.
In the second period, the Saints kept it going: 3:16 into the period Duggan scored on a short-handed goal; Locke assisted on the play. Domenico got her second power play goal of the game 10:32 into the period. Harbec and Grills assisted on the play. St. Lawrence outshot UMaine 12-7.
During the final period, Grills scored another goal for the Saints, giving them a commanding lead. UMaine finally scored their first goal of the game with a Robyn Law score 10:03 into the period. First-year Jennie Gallo assisted on the play. Jordan Pyers scored the Saint's eighth goal of the game with 6:04 remaining in the period. Sabrina Harbec scored the final goal of the game with 4:38 to go.
UMaine would end the game losing by a score of 9-1. Genevieve Turgeon totaled 25 saves on the day. Guckian tallied 23 saves.
UMaine will be back on the ice next year, January 11-12, when they travel to Detroit to take on Wayne State. UMaine won't return home until Jan. 20 when they take on Northeastern.
