Women's Ice Hockey takes down Penn State, 4-2

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – RIT sophomore forward Hunter Barnett (Caledon, Ontario/Mississauga Jr. Chiefs) notched a career-high four points on two goals and two assists while freshman forward Rachel Goff (Naperville, IL/Chicago Mission) added a goal and two assists to lead the Tigers past visiting Penn State, 4-2, in College Hockey America (CHA) action, Friday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • RIT got on the board with 16:10 left in the first period. Junior forward Stella Haberman (Golden Valley, MN/Minnesota Whitecaps) skated a counter-attack down the left wing and fed Barnett with a short cross in front. Barnett scored the one-timer inside the right post from close range.
  • Haberman came up with a loose puck in the Tiger zone during a Penn State power play and zoomed down the left boards to feed Barnett for almost a carbon-copy of the first goal.
  • Penn State made it a one-goal game with 1:13 left in the first after junior defender Morgan Rolph scored a power-play blast from beyond the top of the right face-off circle.
  • The Nittany Lions tied the score with 7:54 left in the second period after senior forward Brooke Madsen pounced on a rebound and scored a power-play tally inside the left post.
  • However, the Tigers answered less than three minutes later with a power play goal of their own after junior defender Ellie Larson (Hutchinson, MN/Hutchinson Tigers) curled a shot from the top of the right face-off circle through two defenders and inside the far post with 5:23 on the clock.
  • Haberman later skated a puck out of the Tigers zone and hit Barnett for a left-wing shot off the Nittany Lion goalie's pads. Goff jammed the loose puck inside the left post with 10:48 left in the third period.   

GAME NOTES

  • Barnett eclipsed the three points (two goals, one assist) she scored in the Tigers' 6-0 win over visiting Brown (Oct. 25) earlier this season.
  • Haberman was credited with a career-high three assists.
  • Goff tied the career-high three points (two goals, one assist) she totaled in RIT's 4-2 win over visiting Brown (Oct. 26).
  • Senior goalie Terra Lanteigne (Hatchet Lake, Nova Scotia/Charles P. Allen) totaled 30 saves for her 12th game (fourth straight) with at least 30 saves this season.
  • RIT (10-16-3, 3-11-1 CHA) earned the victory after falling to the host Nittany Lions, 3-0 and 6-2 (Dec. 6-7) earlier this season. 

WHAT'S NEXT

RIT hosts Penn State again on Saturday (Feb. 15) for a 12:00 p.m. face-off.
