Women's Hockey Falls to Wesleyan 3-2 in Overtime

MIDDLETOWN, Conn. – The Connecticut College women's ice hockey team rallied from an early 2-0 deficit, but ultimately fell 3-2 in overtime to host Wesleyan on Friday night from Spurrier-Snyder Rink.

The teams traded chances early, but it was Wesleyan that broke the ice as Carly Ward made it 1-0 at 11:36. Just under five minutes later, Caroline Humber converted on the power play to extend the lead to 2-0. Conn had a few chances down the stretch in the period, but were unable to get on the board, trailing 2-0 after one.

Conn opened the middle frame with an early power play and capitalized. Christine Oar (Scituate, Mass.) connected with Elizabeth Bonner (Westfield, N.J.) who fired to Lily Stern (Nove Zamky, Slovakia) who scored to make it 2-1. The Camels continued their strong play throughout the period but could not find the equalizer, as they headed to the third down 2-1.

Conn kept pushing, looking for the tying goal, but were unable to beat Sami Smith. However, just past the midway point, Conn evened it up. Charlotte Harris (Ystrad Mynach, Wales) fired home off an assist from Casey Chesner (Great Falls, Va.) to make it 2-2. The Camels had a late chance to win it in regulation, earning a power play with three and a half minutes left, but Conn was unable to convert, as the game headed to overtime tied at two.

Wesleyan took advantage early in the extra session, winning the opening face-off. Just a minute in, Aimed Seppenwolde was sprung on a breakaway with the initial shot being stopped by Devon Galizio (Wayland, Mass.) but it ultimately rolled in, giving the Cardinals the 3-2 win.

Conn outshot Wesleyan 42-29, while holding a slight 26-23 edge on face-off wins.

Galizio got the start in net, finishing with 26 saves. Harris and Stern both tallied a goal, while Bonner, Chesner, and Oar each added one assist. Serena Seiple (Wilmette, Ill.) led the way with 13 face-off wins, as Conn finished 1-2 on the power play and 1-2 on the penalty kill.

Smith got the win in goal, recording 40 saves. Dylan Green paced Wesleyan with three assists, while Humber and Seppenwolde each tallied a goal and an assist. Wesleyan finished 1-2 on the penalty kill and 1-2 on the power play.

Conn (6-9-2, 2-8-1 NESCAC) wraps up the weekend series with Wesleyan tomorrow afternoon at 3:00 p.m. in Middletown.
