SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - Riley Walsh scored two goals, including the game-winner in overtime, to lead the Union College women's hockey team to a 2-1 victory over Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) in an ECAC Hockey game.
Walsh, who scored at 15:51 of the first to tie the game, got her second at 3:02 of the extra period to give the Dutchwomen their third overtime win of the month - each on goals by Walsh. With the teams skating three-on-three, Paige Greco gathered the loose puck and chipped it up the wall on her back hand and Maren Friday skated to the puck with a partial two-on-one. Friday drove to the net and her initial shot was denied by
Amanda Rampado, but Walsh gathered the rebound and buried it into the open goal.
In the first period, RPI came out flying and notched the game's initial goal on the power play when
Sabrina Beaudoin scored at 6:52.
Magdalena Erbenova and
Nina Christof had assists on the play.
Union tied it when Walsh scored from the slot with 4:09 to go in the opening frame.
Rampado played all 62:56 for the Engineers (2-10-1; 0-4-1), making 15 saves. Sophie Matsoukas stopped 22 shots for the Dutchwomen (7-5-1; 2-2-1).
