RMU Women’s Hockey Drops Series Finale in Overtime to Yale

Bac, Evans, Giannone and D’Elia produce multipoint efforts

MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – The RMU women's hockey team fell 5-4 in a dramatic overtime loss to Yale in the series finale. The Colonials now hold a 6-14-2 overall record heading into the second half of the season.
 
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Colonials came out strong in the first period, jumping to a 2-0 lead. Veronica Bac opened the scoring off assists from Janelle Evans and freshman Mya Farr, who recorded her first career point. Moments later, on a power play, Evans extended the lead with help from Morgan Giannone and Thalia D'Elia.
 
Yale clawed back in the second period, scoring twice to tie the game 2-2. The Bulldogs controlled the frame with 19 shots compared to RMU's nine.
 
The third period was a back-and-forth battle. Yale capitalized on a 5-on-3 power play to take their first lead of the game, but RMU quickly responded with Giannone tying it up, assisted by Jersey Phillips and Bac. With just 22 seconds left, Bac batted in her second goal of the game to put RMU ahead 4-3. However, Yale's Carina DiAntonio found the equalizer with just five seconds remaining, sending the game into overtime.
 
In the extra period, RMU had the first big chance as Bac broke free on a breakaway but was denied. Yale secured the victory shortly after with Cami Bell scoring her second goal of the night.
