COLCHESTER, Vt. –  Just what the doctor ordered. With conference play being all that remains this season for Post University Women's Ice Hockey, their weekend series against Saint Michael's College could not have gone any better, coming away with a two-game sweep of the Purple Knights after a 3-2 win on Saturday afternoon courtesy of freshman defenseman Tallulah Cameron's game-winning goal in the third period. 

THE BASICS

Post University 3, Saint Michael's College 2

Post University (3-8-1, 3-2-1 NEWHA)

Saint Michael's College (1-8-0, 1-7-0 NEWHA)

HOW IT HAPPENED
Senior forward Rylee Patfield wasted no time getting the Eagles on the scoreboard first in the affair, scoring unassisted just 2:20 into the first period, pushing the weekend streak to six consecutive goals scored by Post against the Purple Knights. Scoring for the second time in as many days, junior defenseman Emma Hoen made that streak seven against sophomore goalie McKenna Dans, who got the start in net for Saint Michael's College. 

Dans played in net last night, making 32 saves and allowing three goals as she did this afternoon against Post, while staving off another 44 shots that she faced from the Eagle offense. Finally breaking through for the Purple Knights, junior forward Isabel Goolie scored only 1:43 after Hoen's goal, breaking senior goalie Hannah Saunder's weekend shutout streak and the seven consecutive goal streak the Eagles had going, with the help of sophomore forward Audrey Hetman and sophomore forward Brianna Jarvis. 

Tying the game up at two all in the second, freshman forward Kali Boychuk got the hook up from freshman forward Kyler Weatherred for the equalizer with 4:45 left in the frame, before the offense went quiet until the third when Cameron struck for the game-winning goal. Along the way to Post's win, Saunders ended with 19 saves, totaling up 53 saves for the weekend with a pair of victories, while Cameron's winner came from freshmen forwards Kai Hyatt and Georgia Stevens in the 3-2 win. 

BY THE NUMBERS
