Freshman Heidi Knoll scored her first collegiate goal in Syracuse's 6-1 loss at Mercyhurst on Saturday. The Ottawa, Ontario native took a pass from junior Tatum White in the right circle and fired a shot into the back of the net with five minutes remaining in the first period. Freshman Charlotte Hallett started the play by feeding White from the defensive zone. Syracuse (9-18-1, 6-5, CHA) and the Lakers (14-3-0, 6-3) will play on Sunday in the Mercyhurst Ice Center in Erie, Pa. The game will be streamed on FloHockey.com.
Â
"I think we had our fair share of offensive opportunities today," said head coach Britni Smith. "It is easier said than done, but we need to find ways to put some of those in the back of the net. With that, we are a team that relies on our defensive play to fuel our offense. Our defensive game wasn't where it needed to be today. We have shown we are a resilient group and can rebound. We will be back at it tomorrow."
Â
Mercyhurst scored the first goal of the game at the 8:24 mark of the opening period. Knoll's goal made it 1-1, which was the score after 20 minutes. The Lakers scored three goals in the second and added two in the third for the 6-1 final score.
Â
Syracuse and Mercyhurst are tied for second place in the CHA with 12 points each. The teams will meet three more times this season, including Sunday's game and a series in Syracuse on February 10-11, 2023.
Â
Junior Hannah Johnson added three blocks to her team-leading 60 this season, which ranks first in the CHA. The defenseman is 11th on Syracuse's career blocks record list with 120. Junior Mae Batherson had two blocks in the game and has 122 in her career, which ranks 10th on Syracuse's record list.
Â
The Orange will close the regular season hosting Penn State on February 3rd and 4th and Mercyhurst on Feb 10th and 11th, before Senior Day against Stonehill on Feb. 18th. All home games are played at Tennity Ice Pavilion.
