Women’s Ice Hockey Earns No. 3 Seed With 6-2 Win Over Franklin Pierce

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Sophomore Kismet Dogan recorded her first career hat trick as the Saint Anselm College women's ice hockey team defeated Franklin Pierce University in New England Women's Hockey Alliance play on Saturday afternoon at Sullivan Arena, 6-2, capping off the Hawks' regular-season campaign.

With the victory, Saint Anselm finished the season with a 16-11-1 record in league play, earning the No. 3 seed in the NEWHA Tournament, set to begin on Friday, Feb. 27.

Highlights

  • Dogan's three goals were all scored on the power play as she posted her first career hat trick.
  • Senior captain Brooklyn Schneiderhan registered four assists on six goals, tying a career record set in the 2022-23 season.
  • Freshman Grace Littler, sophomore Lucy DeCoteau, and junior Alexis Poppleton each recorded one goal apiece in the triumph.
  • Junior Brenna Young and freshman Kayla Lunney each finished with a team-best +2 on-ice rating. Young and freshman Avery Wilson each notched three blocks to lead the squad.
  • DeCoteau dominated from the faceoff dot, winning 25-of-28 (89.3%) draws taken as the Hawks went 45-for-70 (64.3%) as a team.
  • Saint Anselm poured on 62 shots while only facing 23. Freshman goaltender Kayla Czukoski made 21 saves in the victory.
  • The Hawks now hold a 30-14-4 record in the all-time series against the Ravens, salvaging a season-series split with the victory.

How it Happened

Franklin Pierce got on the board first as Hailey Anderson knocked in a loose puck in the slot to give the Ravens the lead 3:24 into the opening frame. Dogan responded over six minutes later on the power play, ripping a shot in the top corner to tie the score at 1-1.

Saint Anselm went on to score four goals in the second period, including Dogan's second of the contest on the advantage with 53 seconds to play in the second, giving the Hawks a 5-1 lead at the second intermission.

The Ravens scored 48 seconds into the third to cut their deficit to three, but Dogan's third tally of the outing with 8:39 to play sealed the 6-2 victory and clinched the Hawks' spot at No. 3 in the NEWHA postseason.
