PITTSBURGH, Pa. – Freshmen forwards Keira Reckley and Erin Lantry both scored twice to lead the St. John Fisher women's ice hockey team to a 5-1 road victory over Chatham University on Friday night. The Cardinals improved to 8-9-1 (3-3-1 United Collegiate Hockey Conference) with the victory, their fourth in a row, while the Cougars dropped to 1-14-2 (0-7-0 UCHC).
How it Happened
Under nine minutes into the opening period, the Cougars struck first as Klara Miuller opened the scoring. The Cardinals answered late in the period, tying the game with less than a minute remaining when Reckley scored off an assist by Cordelia Wemyss.
The Cardinals took the lead just over a minute into the second period on a power-play goal by Ellie Prantner, assisted by Eibhleann Knox and Alayna Denofrio. Their advantage grew midway through the third period, when Denofrio and Cameran Evans set up Lantry, who buried a shot for the Cardinals' third goal.
Four minutes later, Lantry tallied her second goal of the game off a feed from Evans and Nicole Doeringer. Reckley sealed the win with about three minutes remaining, netting an unassisted, short-handed empty-net goal, her second tally of the game.
