Box Score

HANOVER, N.H. - Junior Sarah Newnam (Clifton, Va.) netted a power play goal and classmate Carli Clemis (Taber, Atla.) made 26 stops in net, but Colgate was able to pull out the 2-1 overtime victory over the Big Green on Friday night at Thompson Arena.

The Big Green (10-4-1, 7-3-0 ECAC) got on the board first at the 13:12 mark of the first period as junior Sarah Newnam (Clifton, Va.) tallied her second goal of the season on the 5-on-3 advantage. Sophomore Sarah Parsons (Dover, Mass.) slid a pass over to junior Maggie Kennedy (West Hartford, Conn.) at the left circle, who found Newnam all alone in the slot and she beat Colgate's freshman goaltender Lisa Plenderleith to give the Big Green a 1-0 lead.

Dartmouth came out a little sluggish and allowed some odd-man breaks to the Raiders, but junior netminder Carli Clemis (Taber, Alta.) was up to the task and made eight saves in the period.

The second period started out much like the first as Colgate had multiple 2-on-1 break outs. Clemis was able to make each stop, including an impressive save on Beth Rotenberg. Clemis sprawled across the crease and denied Rotenberg at the far post to keep it a one goal lead for the Big Green.

Plenderleith matched Clemis save-for-save as she stopped 12 shots in the period to Clemis' 10 saves in the second.

The Raiders (7-8-2, 4-2-1 ECAC) broke through with their first of the evening with 2:07 remaining in the period on a goal from Elin Brown. Evan Minnick kicked the puck back to Brown on a face-off from the right circle and Brown fired a shot through traffic and inside the near post to tie the game at 1-1.

In the third period, it looked as if Dartmouth was going to take a 2-1 lead at the 16:00 mark as junior Marley McMillan (St. Paul, Minn.) skated past the Colgate defense and put a shot on net that forced the red light, but the goal was later disallowed because it hit the post.

In the extra frame, Marissa Dombovy received a pass from Brown, skated into the slot untouched and took a shot that trickled between the legs of Clemis for the score. For Brown, it was her second point of the night and Dombovy added her first goal of the season.

The Big Green netted the lone power play goal in the game, but Dartmouth was held scoreless on the man advantage on its next four chances. Colgate had four opportunities on the power play and came up empty all four times.

Clemis finished the game with 26 stops, while Plenderleith was equally impressive in net with 27 stops between the pipes.

Dartmouth returns to action tomorrow afternoon as Ivy League foe Cornell travels to Hanover for a 4 p.m. face-off at Thompson Arena.
