#5 Raiders Win 10th Straight Game
HAMILTON — Senior goalie Hannah Murphy stopped all 17 shots faced while fifth year forward Kristýna Kaltounková and junior forward Elyssa Biederman tallied two points apiece in No. 5 Colgate's 10th-straight victory, a 3-0 triumph over Harvard.
"I'm super happy that Hannah could get the shutout," head coach Stefan Decosse said. "She has such a calming presence over our group and is such an incredible leader. Credit to Harvard because they played really hard through 60 minutes. We battled today, and anytime you get an ECAC win you feel really good about it."
Biederman chipped in two points for the third time in four outings, while Kaltounková continued her six game point streak with a goal and an assist against the Crimson.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- One of the strongest power play units in the nation started the scoring four minutes into the first with a goal off the stick of Kaltounková from in tight.
- After being outshot in the first period, 7-5, Colgate added an insurance tally when junior forward Alexis Petford converted from the right faceoff circle just before the second intermission.
- The Raiders finally got rolling in the third, outshooting the Crimson 13-4 before an empty-net score from Biederman put the game out of reach with under three minutes to play.
GAME NOTES
- The Raiders move to a perfect 8-0 on the season when outshooting their opponent.
- Junior forward Sara Stewart continued her point streak to four games, where she has logged five tallies.
- Petford scored a goal for the second-straight matchup.
- Kaltounková has now scored 11 points in the past six contests, including four multi-point outings.
