Endicott vs Hockey Town Women's All-Stars
The Gulls closed out the first semester of their season winning their second game in two days. They battled the Hockey Town All-Stars to a 3-2 overtime victory Monday night at Salem State University. The scoring began with a tally from senior Kat Walsh (Milton, Mass.), assisted by freshmen MacKenzie Hurst and Sam Parr (Dedham, Mass.). Hockey Town battled back scoring two goals, making it a 2-1 game going into the third period.
The Gulls tied it up midway through the third with a goal by Hurst, off an assist from sophomore Lizetta Solarik (Carmel, N.Y.). Despite a flurry of activity in front of the Hockey Town net at the end of the third, Endicott was unable to score.
However, thirty seconds into overtime, the Gulls found the back of the net after a shot from senior Hannah Morton (Franklin, Mass.) was tipped in by Hurst. The victory moves the Gulls to 2-3-1 on the season. Freshman goalie Taylor Witham (Cumberland, Maine) finished the night with 28 saves.
