Women's Ice Hockey Ties Nepean

The Oswego State women's ice hockey team played the Nepean Wildcats to a 4-4 tie in a Saturday afternoon exhibition game at the Campus Center Ice Arena. Sophomore Emily Grippin led the Lakers' production with a goal and an assist. Freshman goaltender Megan Amlinger led Laker goalies in saves with 17; she played the second period as coach Diane Dillon got a look at all three of her netminders. Junior Erin Robson got the start between the pipes for Oswego State and sophomore Emi Williams played the third period and overtime.

Laker freshman Jillian Bergeron wasted little time showing her scoring touch. The former Wildcat forward lit the lamp in the game's fifth minute to give Oswego State the game's first goal. Nepean answered less than a minute later on a marker by Jessica Kehoe. Oswego State would take a one-goal lead on four occasions throughout the night, never holding the edge for longer than 6:33 before the Wildcats evened the score.

Nepean put three shots on net in the extra frame, but Williams stopped all of them to lead Oswego State to a tie against a Wildcat team that beat the Lakers 5-3 last season.
