ROCHESTER, NY – The RIT women's hockey team (1-6-3, 0-2-0 CHA) fell on home ice for the second straight day, 3-0 to College Hockey America foe Robert Morris University (6-5-1, 4-1-1 CHA) from the Gene Polisseni Center Saturday.
 
Goaltender Terra Lanteigne (Hatchet Lake, Nova Scotia/Charles P. Allen) made 39 saves in the net for the second straight game on 41 shots for RIT.
 
Jaycee Gebhard, Anjelica Diffendal and Maggie Lague scored for the Colonials, while goaltender Lauren Bailey stopped all 26 shots she faced for the shutout.
 
Robert Morris out-shot RIT, 42-26. The Colonials were 0-for-4 on the power-play, while RIT finished 0-for-2.

"I really liked our effort all weekend, but just need to finish our chances," said Bruce B. Bates Women's Hockey Coach Chad Davis. "We're still very early in the season, but we want to create our identity and learn to be successful."
 
Neither team scored in an action-packed opening period in which Robert Morris held a 14-11 edge in shots on goal.
 
Madison Farrand (Potomac, MD/Winston Churchill) had a great chance for RIT denied on the doorstep by Bailey. Moments later, Kendall Cornine (Kinnelon, NJ/Morristown Beard) had a point-blank chance denied by the blocker of Bailey.
 
Lanteigne was called upon to make several big saves late in the period to keep the game scoreless. First, she robbed Diffendal with a nice glove save on a shot from the slot. Lanteigne and the Tigers killed off 1:11 of a Robert Morris 5-on-3 in the final minutes of the period. The Colonials had six shots on goal during the flurry and also had a one-timer from Kirsten Welsh ring off the left post and out of play.
 
The Colonials would score the lone goal in the second period, as Gebhard came off the bench while play was in the RIT zone, crashed the net and was able to slide in a pass from Courtney Kollman from in close for her eighth goal of the season with 8:13 left to play.
 
Moments before, RIT had a great chance, as Cornine came in to the Colonials zone with Tori Haywood (Pickering, Ontario/St. Mary's Catholic) on a 2-on-1 rush. Cornine snapped a hard shot that pushed aside by Bailey.
 
RIT would have a handful of good chances in the third period, but Bailey was up to the challenge. Her best save came on a tip attempt from Brittney Gout (Caledon, Ontario/Brampton Canadettes) with just under five minutes left.
 
The Colonials would score the big insurance to go up 2-0 with 8:28 left, as Diffendal jammed in a loose puck off a feed from Lexi Templeman on the doorstep.
 
Lanteigne would be pulled for the extra attacker with just over three minutes left and RIT would have a 6-on-4 power-play to end regulation, but Lague put the game away with a shorthanded marker with 2.9 seconds left to complete the scoring.
 
Robert Morris leads the all-time series between the two schools, 19-10-3. Today's contest was the second of four regular season meetings between the two clubs in 2018-19. Robert Morris also won 3-1 yesterday. The Tigers and Colonials also meet on Jan. 25-26, 2019 at Robert Morris.
 
RIT is right back in action next weekend, Nov. 9-10 at Dartmouth College of the ECAC. Friday's contest begins at 6 p.m., while Saturday's game starts at 3 p.m.
