Women’s Hockey defeats Lindenwood, 3-1

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – RIT sophomore forward Emma Roland's game-winning goal and assist led the Tigers to a 3-1 conference win over visiting Lindenwood, Saturday.

HOW IT HAPPENED
  • After a scoreless first period, sophomore forward Lindsay Maloney gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead 6:44 into the second period. After taking a pass from Roland in her own end, Maloney went the length of the ice before snapping a shot to the top right corner of the net on the power play.
  • Roland extended the RIT lead to 2-0 with 5:49 left in the middle frame after taking a pass from behind the net from freshman forward Megan McCormick and one-timing a shot just inside the low right post. McCormick kept the Lindenwood goaltender guessing after corralling a pass from the left point from sophomore forward Hana Solinger and moving it from one side of the net to the other behind the goaltender's back before feeding Roland in front.
  • Sophomore forward Chloe McNeil gave the Tigers a 3-0 lead 7:21 into the third with an unassisted breakaway goal. McNeil stole the puck from a Lindenwood defender just outside the Lion blueline and sent a rocket to the top right corner.
  • The Lions made it a 3-1 game with 8:39 to play after a shot from the right point was deflected on its way to the net through a maze of bodies.
GAME NOTES
  • RIT notched its first conference win of the season and took three of four points on the weekend against the Lions.
  • Roland was named the game's first star for the second time in as many days after back-to-back multi-point performances this weekend and now has goals in four of the team's last five games.
  • The Tigers' three goals in each game this weekend against Lindenwood was the first time this season that RIT scored three or more goals in consecutive games.
  • Seniors Taylor Sims, Abby Davies and Jordan Marchese were all honored prior to the game for Senior Day. Sims led all RIT defenders in blocks with six and Marchese led all forwards in blocks with three.
  • Freshman goaltender Sarah Coe picked up her first collegiate win with 33 saves and was 8:39 away from her first shutout.
  • Sophomore forward Chloe McNeil scored her first collegiate goal.
  • Freshman defender Kyla Bear extended her point streak to three games after registering an assist on the Tigers' first goal and is in a four-way tie for the team lead in assists with six.
  • RIT scored specialty-team goals in consecutive games for the second time this season with the last coming at LIU (Dec 31, Jan. 1).
