Hamilton, NY — – The 51·çÁ÷ women’s hockey team broke out of any offensive slump it may have been in by registering 10 goals on Friday night in beating Sacred Heart, 10-1.
Cheryl Setchell started the scoring off early with a goal coming just 40 seconds into the game. Freshman defender Micki King recorded the assist to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead.
Sacred Heart would tie it up at 9:44 of the first when Siobhan Russell scored off passes from Kim Corcoran and Lyndsey Bennett.
51·çÁ÷ recorded one more goal in the first period at 11:46, when Setchell scored her second of the game and third of the season off an assist from Becky Irvine.
The Raiders poured it on in the second period scoring five goals in the twenty minute frame. Amanda Barre scored her second goal of the season just 34 seconds in. Chelsey Rhodes registered the assist. Avery McGlenn scored at the 2:29 mark off assists from Carly McNaughton and Kristy MacDonald.
Freshman Allison Paiano tallied her first career goal at the 13:42 mark, taking passes from Irvine and McNaughton. McNaughton scored her first career goal at the 15:57 mark off an assist from MacDonald. Maura Kehoe scored the final goal of the period at 17:48, the goal went unassisted.
The Raiders added to their lead in the third period getting three goals in a two minute span. Kehoe scored her second goal of the night at 11:28 off the assist from Paiano. McGlenn posted her second goal of the night at 12:44 and receiving assist number three on the goal was McNaughton. Irvine closed out the scoring for the Raiders when she netted a feed from Setchell, setting the final at 10-1.
The ten goals are the most scored by the Raiders since January of last season when they tallied 11 against Utica. It marked the eighth time that a 51·çÁ÷ team netted double-digit goals, and just the second since joining Division I.
51·çÁ÷ outshot Sacred Heart 41-10 and held the Pioneers to no shots in the second period. That made it easy for Lindsay Bourne to pick up the win in her first start of the season. Bourne made four saves and was replaced by Melanie Barclay, who made five stops in between the pipes in the third period.
The Raiders killed all four power plays the Pioneers had, and went 3-4 on their own power play. 51·çÁ÷ is 5-17 on the power play, and has a penalty kill of 20-23 good for 87% on the season.
Carly McNaughton earned the number one star, Cheryl Setchell, the number two star and Becky Irvine the third star for the game.
The Raiders are back in action Saturday evening when they play host to Rensselaer at 4 p.m.
