HANOVER, N.H. – Dartmouth women's hockey shut out Rensselaer, 4-0, in front of a loud crowd at Thompson Arena on Friday night. The Big Green improved to 3-2-2 and 3-1-2 in ECAC Hockey play, while the Engineers fell to 4-6-1 and 2-2-1 in conference action.

Senior Lindsey Allen, junior Kennedy Ottenbreit and sophomore Hailey Noronha all ended the night with two points apiece, while four other Dartmouth players picked up one point. Ottenbreit also scored Dartmouth's first short handed tally of the season.

“Overall, I think the team played pretty well tonight,” head coach Mark Hudak said. “We did a really good job attacking their net, and it ended up paying off with those four goals. I also thought Robyn had a really good night.”

At 5:20 in the first period, sophomore Brooke Ahbe had a great chance to put the home team on the board, shooting to the right of netminder Lovisa Selander and pulling her from her post, leaving the puck sitting in the crease. RPI's defense did a good job to clear it before a Big Green player could get their stick on it.

The visitors weren't so lucky later on, however, when Tebano's shot from the top of the circle ricocheted off an Engineers' left skate and redirected to Allen, who backhanded it into the net at 17:05 to make it a 1-0 game heading into the second.

At 12:59 in the second period, just 13 seconds after one of their own was called for a penalty, Ottenbreit netted Dartmouth's first short handed tally of the season. Directly behind the Green's net, Noronha passed to Ottenbreit who skated freely down the left side to dump the puck in the left corner.

Junior goaltender Robyn Chemago had a huge save at 16:15 that helped keep RPI off the board. She stopped the shot, but the puck dropped out of her glove and landed on an Engineer's stick. The player in red attempted to shoot behind Chemago, but the Big Green goalie saved it with her right pad, sending the puck into the center of the crease. One quick sweep with her right hand got Dartmouth out of danger.

Forfar gave the Green a 3-0 edge at 5:19 in the third period, picking up Allen's deflected shot and flicking it to the right of Selander before she had time to cover the right post. Senior Laura Stacey also assisted on the play. Ahbe added one more goal for good measure at 13:53, shooting to Kira Bombay's right, who replaced Selander between the pipes.

Dartmouth outshot RPI, 39-21, and went 1-for-4 on the power play, while the Engineers were 0-for-5. In net, Chemago had 21 saves to earn the win. Selander made 30 stops while being saddled with the loss.

Dartmouth will return to action on Saturday in a 4 p.m. game against Union.
