SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse women's ice hockey team was edged, 2-1, by visiting Rensselaer on Friday, Nov. 26. Despite outshooting the Engineers, 13-6, in the final period, the Orange could not manage the game-tying goal.
Syracuse and RPI played a scoreless first period that featured eight shots by each team. SU's Isabel Menard put the Orange on the board first at the 6:46 mark of the second period. Rookie Akane Hosoyamada and junior Megan Skelly were credited with assists on the score. The Engineers fired back with two goals before the end of the second period to lead, 2-1, heading into intermission. Alisa Harrison tallied an assist on each of RPI's goals.
The Orange had several opportunities in the third period, including three power-plays, but RPI held off SU's attack. With 4:45 remaining in the game, RPI was whistled for its second consecutive penalty to give SU a 5-on-3 power-play, but the Orange could not find the back of the net. With less than two minutes to play, junior Taylor Metcalfe's shot hit the pipe. Rensselaer's goaltender, Sonja van der Bliek turned away all 13 of Syracuse's shots in the final period and registered 29 total saves in the win.
SU will face RPI again tomorrow at 2 p.m. at Tennity Ice Pavilion in game two of the non-conference series.
