‘Fine-tunings' bring women's hockey win over Dutchmen

Kevin Xiao / The Dartmouth Staff Kevin Xiao / The Dartmouth Staff The Dartmouth women's hockey team unleashed an assault of shots on Rensselaer Polytechnic University and Union College this weekend, narrowly losing to the Engineers (10-10-5, 7-4-3 ECAC Hockey) before dominating the last-place Dutchmen (5-20-1, 1-12-1 ECAC Hockey). RPI scraped by with a late-period goal for a final score of 2-1. Deadlocked going into the final frame, the Engineers' Allison Wright skated through traffic in front of the net to tip in the eventual game-winning goal for RPI. This was the Engineers' first victory over Dartmouth (7-11-2, 5-9-1 ECAC Hockey) in their last ten meetings. The Big Green had no difficulty creating opportunities, as the team put 46 shots on netminder Sonja van der Bliek. RPI's freshman goalie remained solid in between the pipes, disrupting Dartmouth's offensive efforts, head coach Mark Hudak said. "Getting that many shots with just one goal is very frustrating," he said. Dartmouth fired 22 shots in the opening period alone, to no avail. Alyssa Boehm '11 netted the Big Green's sole point of the match on a breakaway late in the middle frame.
