EAST MEADOW, N.Y. – Playing on the back end of a home-and-home series against LIU, Post University Women's Ice Hockey was held scoreless once again by the Sharks, dropping their eighth consecutive game overall, and third straight by way of a shutout on Saturday evening.

HOW IT HAPPENED 
Senior forward Sarah Rourke would score the first of two power play goals for the Sharks in the opening period, receiving the puck from junior forward Journey Miller and sophomore forward Ryane Kearns less than three minutes into the game. Rourke would go on to assist on the second goal of the period which was also the second power play goal, when sophomore defenseman Emma Mortl connected on her shot against sophomore goalie Hannah Saunders. Junior forward Jeannie Wallner would round out the trio of first period goals with 1:20 remaining with the help of senior forward Ashley Morrow and freshman forward Grace Babington. 

Senior forward Mikayla would tally a pair of second period goals for LIU only eight second apart from each other, first from the help of Mortl and then sophomore forward Paige Vreeman to extend the Sharks' lead to five goals at that point. Senior forward Maggie Culp would help finish off the scoring for LIU, assisting on sophomore forward Anya Weilandt's goal a little while later, making it three goals in under two minutes for the Sharks who went ahead 6-0. 

Held to just 13 shots on goal, the Eagles would be unable to solve freshman goalie Clara Kammholz while Saunders was lifted in the third period of the 6-0 loss for sophomore goalie Hali Lawrence who stopped all eight shots she faced in relief.
