BURLINGTON, Vt.— Akane Hosoyamada's last-second goal lifted the Syracuse ice hockey team (9-8-2) past Vermont (8-8-4) on Saturday afternoon. The Orange earned 4-3 victory over the Catamounts at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Hosoyamada scored two goals in the contest, which was the first for Syracuse in 2014.
"We worked hard in the first period getting our feet back under us after the break," said head coach Paul Flanagan. "We responded well with some good energy. The girls worked hard over the break and we had a good week of practice. It's a great way to start the New Year, getting that win. It was a very back and forth game and [senior goalie] Jenesica Drinkwater made some good saves. They did a good job pressuring us, especially on the game-tying goal in the third period."
Julie Knerr and Caitlin Roach also had multi-point games. Knerr scored a goal and assist and Roach tallied two assists.
Jenesica Drinkwater made a season-high 26 saves and improved her record to 5-1-0. Vermont's Roxanne Douville also made 26 stops between the pipes.
The Orange dominated on the dot, winning 28-of-46 (60.9%) faceoffs. Each team scored on one of two power play opportunities.
Syracuse started off strong, taking a 1-0 lead 45 seconds into the game when Allie LaCombe notched her fifth goal of the season with assists from Nicole Renault and Caitlin Roach.
The Catamounts tied it up 5:44 into the second period when Victoria Andreakos tipped in a shot in front of the goal on the power play that got past Drinkwater to even the score at 1-1.
The Orange answered five minutes later when Knerr tipped in a loose puck in front of the net to give the Orange a 2-1 lead. Brittney Krebs took the initial shot from the right side that bounced off the boards and set Knerr up for the score with 10:56 to go in the second stanza.
Sadie St. Germain nearly put one in the net with five minutes left in the second period when she stole the puck between two defenders at the blue line, took control in front of the net and wristed one at Douville, who saved it but nearly let it slip past the goal line.
In the closing minute of the second period, Drinkwater recorded two big saves and Roach played strong defense amidst a lot of pressure from Vermont to help the Orange maintain the lead going into the second intermission.
Hosoyamada gave the Orange a two-goal lead with 9:22 left in the contest when she took the puck up the left side of the ice into the SU offensive zone, skated it to in front of the net and slapped it past Douville.
Vermont's Amanda Pelkey answered in similar fashion, doing all the work on the Catamount's second goal of the day. She brought it up the ice and wristed it past Drinkwater at the doorstep to cut the lead to 3-2 with 8:34 remaining in the game.
Vermont evened the game at three with 2:17 left in regulation when Andreakos took a shot at Drinkwater, who made the save but the puck trickled to the left goalpost and Dayna Colang was there to notch the game-tying goal.
A hooking penalty on the Catamounts gave SU the man-advantage to close out the final 48 seconds of the game and the Orange capitalized, notching the game-winner with 7.9 seconds on the clock to win it 4-3. Roach and Larissa Martyniuk put pressure on the Vermont defense, which blocked all three of their shots but Hosoyamada controlled the rebound off of a Roach shot in time to score her second goal of the afternoon to win the game.
Syracuse and Vermont square off again tomorrow afternoon at 2 p.m. at Gutterson Arena in Burlington, Vt.
