HOW IT HAPPENED
- There were zeroes on the scoreboard after 20 minutes with Colgate leading shots on goal 10-8 and failing to capitalize on a mid-period power play opportunity.
- The Raiders took the reins of a highlight-filled second period, scoring three goals starting with a deflection from Alexis Petford on a Kaltounková shot that took a high-arcing bounce off the boards behind the net.
- Kaltounková did her best to earn a Sportscenter Top-10 shout-out just 20 seconds later, going between the legs to beat the Tiger netminder from point blank range and double Colgate's advantage.
- At the six-minute mark of the second stanza, Biederman lit the lamp after executing a near-perfect two-on-two break alongside a streaking Kaltounková.
- Kaltounková finished off the Tigers three minutes into the third period by cleaning up a rebounded Biederman shot to assert a four-goal advantage.
GAME NOTES
- Kaltounková scored her 24th goal of the season in the win, tied for the most by any skater in NCAA Division I so far this year.
- The Raiders picked up their seventh win against ranked foes this season, the most by any ECAC school.
