MANCHESTER, N.H. - The Saint Anselm women's ice hockey team hosted the New England College Pilgrims this afternoon in ECAC East Conference play.  The Hawks significantly outshot the Pilgrims, but only one shot counted in the end, as the Pilgrims came away with a 1-0 victory.  The win lifts the Pilgrims to 7-9-3 (5-6-2 ECAC East), while the Hawks fall to 9-6-1 (7-3-1 ECAC East).

The Hawks dominated the first two periods, outshooting the Pilgrims 32-12, including 18-3 in the second period alone, but none of the shots could find the back of the net, as the two teams headed into the third period tied 0-0.  However, at 2:35 in the third, Kaleigh Costello (Hudson, N.H.) drove the puck in and knocked her own rebound past Amy Zappen (Huntington Beach, Calif.) to put the Pilgrims up 1-0.  A Pilgrim penalty at 19:10 in the third gave the Hawks a 50-second 6-on-4 advantage, but they were still unable to penetrate the Pilgrims' solid defense, as they fell 1-0.

Teraysa White (Belgrade, Maine) made 43 saves en route to her second shutout of the season.  Amy Zappen stopped 22 shots but allowed the only goal of the game, taking the loss.  The Hawks hit the road next Friday night, January 29th, to take on the Nichols College Bison in an ECAC East Conference game beginning at 7:30 pm.
