Box Score

Syracuse swept Post in a weekend series with a 6-1 victory on Saturday at Tennity Ice Pavilion. Junior Sarah Thompson tallied two goals and had an assist and sophomore Madison Primeau dished out three assists to lead the Orange. Sophomore Terryn Mozes tallied her first collegiate goal and had an assist, and junior goaltender Amelia Van Vliet earned a win in her first start of the season. Syracuse (7-9-1 overall, 4-0 College Hockey America) will play at 12th ranked Penn State next weekend in a CHA series.

"After a weekend off it is good to get back into our systems and see some success on offense," said head coach Britni Smith. "Now we are getting back into CHA play next weekend at Penn State, which is coming off a weekend of playing top-ranked teams, so we need to be ready to up our game. This weekend we had a lot of firsts in terms of scoring and a shutout. Giving a puck out to Terryn Mozes for her first college goal tonight shows the kind of culture we have when everyone can be excited and trying to get their teammates their firsts. We continually talk about individual success comes from team success."

In the first period, Syracuse scored a pair of goals within nine seconds of each other to jump out to a 2-0 lead. Junior Tatum White hit Rayla Clemons with a pass as she came down the center of the ice for the first goal at the 6:29 mark of the period. The Orange scored again when junior Sarah Thompson took a pass from sophomore Madison Primeau and put it into the back of the net. Mozes netted her first collegiate goal with 10 minutes left in the opening stanza. Graduate student Lauren Bellefontaine won a faceoff on the left side, sending it to Mozes at the blue line. The defenseman fired a shot into the top left corner of the goal to put the Orange up 3-0.

In the second period, sophomore Erin Brousseau gave Syracuse a 4-0 lead with a goal with 13:55 remaining. Primeau set up the play with a pass to Thompson who carried it up the left side and hit Brousseau with a crossing pass on the crease for the score.

Syracuse added two more goals in the third period. Thompson netted her second of the game on assists from Primeau and junior Kambel Beacom to give the Orange a 5-0 lead with 16:33 left to play. Bellefontaine scored the sixth Syracuse goal on assists from sophomore Sarah Marchand and freshman Rhéa Hicks. Post (1-13, 1-8 NEWHA) scored the final goal of the game with less than 10 minutes left when Sajel Desai put the Eagles on the board.

Thompson scored seven points in the series, including five goals and two assists, while Primeau had two goals and four assists. Brousseau (two goals and two assists), Bellefontaine (one goal and two assists), junior Hannah Johnson (three assists) and freshman Maya D'Arcy (three assists) all contributed three points in the two wins.
