SYRACUSE, N.Y.- The Syracuse women's ice hockey team lost to Queen's University, 1-0, on Sunday afternoon in an exhibition contest at Tennity Ice Pavilion.

Syracuse out-shot Queen's, 37-10 but Gaels' goalie Stephanie Pascal denied Syracuse every scoring chance. The Orange had three different goalies play in the crease, utilizing the exhibition as a time to get each goaltender some reps.

"We looked like a team that had practiced six times and hadn't really spent a lot of time working on detail in terms of our systems," said head coach Paul Flanagan. "We did generate a lot of opportunities, but their goaltender played well and pitched a shutout today. I give her a lot of credit."

After a penalty by Heather Schwarz at the 13:26 mark in the second frame, the Gaels took advantage of the opportunity by scoring the only goal of the game on a wrister from Katrina Manoukarakis.

Senior Melissa Piacentini and junior Jessica Sibley led the offensive charge for the Orange, combining for 13 shots in the contest.

The Orange opens its season officially on Tuesday, Oct. 6 at Tennity Ice Pavilion against Clarkson at 7 p.m.
