Ice Hockey: Women's
Women's hockey now winless in last 11, drops 4-0 decision to RIT
Rochester Institute of Technology scored a goal in each period of Friday's game to knock off Penn State, but all the Tigers needed on Saturday was their second period performance.
The teams were scoreless after one period of play Saturday, but the Tigers (14-13-5, 7-6-5 CHA) netted three goals in the second frame to blank the Nittany Lions (7-22-2, 1-15-2 CHA), 4-0, en route to sweeping the series.
RIT forward Kim Schlattman got the scoring started when she found the back of goalie Nicole Paniccia's net just over two minutes into the second period. Just over 10 minutes later, fellow Tiger forward Marissa Maugeri added a goal of her own. After assisting Maugeri's goal, Erin Zach scored the Tigers' third goal with just over a minute left in the frame.
Before the final buzzer sounded, RIT forward Kourtney Kunichika joined the scoring party to make the final score 4-0.
Although the Lions got their lone goal in Friday's game on the powerplay from forward Taylor Gross, the team could not capitalize on any of the Tigers' five penalties Saturday.
The Lions will close out the regular season when they travel to Robert Morris for a two-game set. The Colonials swept the Lions earlier in the year when the two squads met at Greenberg Ice Pavilion in November.
