CANTON, Mass. — The No. 12 nationally ranked Endicott women's ice hockey team defeated Curry College by a score of 4-2 on Friday night at Canton Ice House, kicking off a home-and-away Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) series against the Colonels this weekend.

Four minutes later, the Gulls took their first lead of the game, as Maggie Lynch (Quincy, Mass.) capitalized on a power play opportunity.
The Gulls found some third period insurance in the form of reigning CCC Player of the Week Teaghan Hall (West Springfield, Mass.), as she broke loose for the Blue and Green's fourth score of the night.
In net, Casey Moritz (Trophy Club, Texas) improved to 12-4-2 with a 25-save effort.
