CANTON, N.Y.<\/b> — St. Lawrence shut out Colgate 5-0 Friday night at Appleton Arena as Colgate failed to score for the third straight game.<\/p>\n
The Saints improve to 5-2-1 in ECAC play, while Colgate fell to 1-5 in the conference.<\/p>\n
Colgate head coach Greg Fargo described his squad’s lack of finding the back of the net after the game. <\/p>\n
“It’s not a secret that we have not scored a goal in three games,” said Fargo. “At this point, we’ll take one any way we can.”<\/p>\n
St. Lawrence opened the scoring at 3:22 of the first period. A scramble in front of the net resulted in a loose puck that Kennedy Marchment poked home for her seventh goal of the year. <\/p>\n
Fargo felt his team’s start was partially to blame for score. <\/p>\n
“Any time you spot a team a couple goals early in the game, that’s the result you are going to get,” he said.<\/p>\n
Kirsten Padalis put the Saints up 2-0 with a power-play goal at 14:42 of the first period. She received a pass from Kayla Raniwsky and fired a slap shot from the point that beat Colgate goalie Ashlynn Rando high on the glove side.<\/p>\n
Brooke Webster then scored her tenth goal of the season just 31 seconds into the second period when she fired a wrist shot from the slot past Rando on the blocker side to give the Saints a 3-0 advantage.<\/p>\n
St. Lawrence coach Chris Wells was obviously pleased with his team’s effort. <\/p>\n
“I thought Colgate outplayed us in the first two minutes and we were lucky to be up by two after the first,” said Wells. “The team did a good job regrouping in between the first and second.”<\/p>\n
A Colgate power play gave the Raiders an opportunity to close the gap, but Jackie Wand put the Saints up 4-0 instead on a shorthanded goal. <\/p>\n
“Jess [Hon] made a nice saucer pass right to my stick and I just finished off the play,” said Wand.<\/p>\n
Abbey McRae’s goal at 18:27 of the second gave the Saints a 5-0 lead as her snap shot from the left hashmarks beat Rando high blocker.<\/p>\n
Neither team scored in the third period and the combination of Carmen MacDonald and Brooke Wolejko made 27 saves to record the shutout for St. Lawrence.<\/p>\n
Fargo was disappointed following the loss, saying his team did not execute their game plan and failed to capitalize on power play chances. <\/p>\n
“I didn’t think we did a whole lot of things we prepared for,” said Fargo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
