COLBY WOMEN'S HOCKEY DEFEATS TRINITY

WATERVILLE, Maine --- The Colby College women's hockey team is all alone in sixth place in the New England Small College Athletic Conference standings after taking a key 4-2 victory over Trinity College on Friday night at Alfond Arena.

Colby (6-10-3 overall, 4-8-3 league) and Trinity (9-11-1, 4-10-1) both came into the night tied for sixth place with nine points. The two points for Friday's win gives the Mules 11 points heading into the final regular season game Saturday at home against Wesleyan University at 3 p.m. Trinity plays Saturday at fourth-ranked Bowdoin College at 4 p.m. Colby needs a win, tie or a Trinity loss tomorrow to clinch sixth place in the upcoming seven-team NESCAC playoffs.

Heather DeVito (Arlington, Mass.) had two goals for Colby in the win Friday. Kit Hickey (Waltham, Mass.) and Michele Barmash (Kirkland, PQ) also tallied for the Mules. Sasha Schroeder (El Prado, N.M.) had a pair of assists.

Trinity evened the game at 2-2 in the first period on goals by Tara Borawski (Simsbury, Conn.) and Elizabeth Johnson (Guilford, Conn.).

Genevieve Triganne (Point-Claire, Quebec) stopped 18 shots for Colby, while Courtney Bergh (West Pennington, N.J.) made 37 saves for the Bantams.
