SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Syracuse senior Ashley Cockell fired the game-tying goal in the second period of game two against RPI on Saturday to force overtime where the game ended in a 2-2 tie.
Despite outshooting RPI, 12-5, in the first period, the Engineers led, 2-0, heading into the first intermission. SU responded in the second with two scores of its own to even the score. Senior Julie Rising found herself one-on-one with RPI's goaltender and sent the puck into the back of the net to cut the Engineers lead to one just 1:22 into the second stanza.
On an SU power-play with 11:03 remaining in the second stanza, Cockell tied the score. Sophomore Isabel Menard fed the puck to freshman Akane Hosoyamada, who found Cockell on the right wing for the goal. In the final period, Syracuse tallied six shots, while RPI registered 11, but both teams were held scoreless to force overtime.
The Orange tallied two shots in the overtime period, while the Engineers registered three, but neither team could manage the game-winning score. Freshman goaltender Jenesica Drinkwater turned away 27 of RPI's shot attempts, including 11 in the third period to keep the Engineers scoreless.
The Orange will take on No. 2 Cornell University on Tuesday, November 30 at 7 p.m. at Tennity Ice Pavilion.
