Henniker, N.H. – The Plymouth State women’s ice hockey team took to the road this past Saturday to take on New England College in a ECAC matchup at Lee Clement Arena.
The Pilgrims got out to an early lead when freshman Rachel Vigliano scored at 2:27 to make 1-0 early. NEC would further add to their lead in the second period when juniors Aubrey Fischer and Chelsie Boroski scored goals only a minute apart from each other. Plymouth State was finally able to get on the board late in the second period, when junior Stephanie Newmark (Sydney, Australia) scored on the powerplay off a neat pass from senior Kelsey Colby (Walpole, Mass.) to make it 3-1 after two.
NEC regained their three-goal lead early in the third period after a wrap around goal by to make it 4-1 with less then ten minutes to play. Newnark would score her second goal only a few minutes later to cut the deficit to 4-2, but NEC was able to hold off the Panthers to secure the victory.
With the loss Plymouth State’s record now stands at 0-4. The lady Panthers will next be in action this coming Friday as they take on Manhattanville College.
