Box Score

BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Oswego State women's ice hockey team (8-8-2, 7-4-2 ECAC West) scored four power-play goals en route to a 7-0 victory over host Buffalo State (6-10-2, 3-7-1 ECAC West) Friday night. Senior Mackenzie Lee (Caledonia, N.Y.) had a strong perfomance with two goals, including the eventual game-winner, and an assist to help the Lakers pick up two critical points in the conference standings. 

Lee got Oswego State off on the right foot, as she scored 29 seconds into the contest with classmate Kelly Collins (Fairport, N.Y.) earning the assist. Forty seconds into Oswego State's first power-play opportunity of the game midway through the first period, senior Lauren Gilpin (Georgetown, Ont.) scored her third goal of the season at 9:42. Just two minutes later, Lee scored her second of the night, putting the Lakers ahead 3-0 at the end of the first.

The second period started with a penalty on Buffalo State's bench, giving the Lakers another power play. Chelsea Hunt (So., Brockport, N.Y.) capitalized on the chance with her first goal of the year 41 seconds into the period to put the Lakers up 4-0. Jillian Bergeron (Sr., Brockville, Ont.) received an assist on the goal. 

Later in the second, Gilpin tallied her second power-play goal of the night with assists going to Kathryn Sbrocchi (Sr., Mississauga, Ont.) and Carly Marchment (Fr., Courtice, Ont.) at 9:59.  The goal prompted the Bengals to replace goalie Jordan Lee, who made 17 saves, with Jess Garland, who finished with ten.

However, Oswego State was not finished scoring, as Kathryn Sbrocchi scored the fourth power-play marker of the game at 17:51 and was followed by an even-strength goal by Megan Howe (So., Stratford, Ont.) less than a minute later to make the score 7-0 at the end of two periods.  Lee assisted Sbrocchi's goal, while Emma Smetaniuk (So., Frankford, Ont.) and Leslie Jarvis (So., Newmarket, Ont.) recorded assists for Howe's goal. 

Freshman goalie Bridget Smith (Hamburg, N.Y.) registered 17 saves to help force the Bengal power play to go 0-for-6, while also posting her first collegiate shutout win.  Oswego State ended the game 4-for-6 with the extra attacker.  

The Lakers will face Buffalo State again on Saturday at 3 p.m.
