BEVERLY, Mass. — The No. 15 Endicott women's ice hockey team defeated Wesleyan, 4-2, on Tuesday night at Raymond J. Bourque Arena.

From there, Wesleyan made it 3-2 at 16:28 of the second, but Samantha Fantasia (Billerica, Mass.) responded for the Gulls moments later (17:57, PP) to recapture all momentum in the contest.

In goal, Celia Dahl (Orono, Minn.) stopped 15 shots for her second win of the season (3-0-1 all-time, fourth career start).
