Box Score

Forward Sarah Thompson and defenseman Kailey Langefels tallied goals for the Orange in a 3-2 loss at Robert Morris on Sunday. Syracuse's penalty kill defense turned RMU away three times, extending it's streak of penalty kills to 12 in the last four games.

After a back-and-forth first period with no scoring, the Orange (3-9-1 overall, 0-4 College Hockey America) jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in the second period when forward Sarah Thompson deflected a shot from defenseman Rachel Teslak into the RMU (6-6-0, 3-1) goal. Marielle McHale started the play with a pass from the right circle to the blue line where Teslak fired her shot. The goal is Thompson's third of the year and 23rd of her 100-game Syracuse career. The Colonials evened the score six minutes later on a goal by Shailynn Snow.

In the third period, Langefels evened the score, 2-2, tallying a power play goal less than two minutes after RMU had taken a 2-1 lead. Forwards Maya D'Arcy and Nea Tervonen assisted on the goal. With seven minutes remaining in the third period, RMU scored the game-winner.

Syracuse goaltender Allie Kelley recorded 36 saves for the second game in a row for a series total of 72. She has had at least 35 saves in five consecutive games, and at least 32 saves in nine games this season.

The Orange will host Lindenwood on Nov. 17 and 18 on Alumni Weekend at Tennity Ice Pavilion. Puck drop on Friday, Nov. 17 is 6 pm.
