Colby women's hockey earns win over Amherst, 2-1

WATERVILLE, Maine --- Nicole Crocker (Dover, Mass.) made her first collegiate goal a big one as the Colby College women's hockey team took a 2-1 victory over Amherst College in New England Small College Athletic Conference play Saturday at Alfond Rink.

Crocker scored 5:18 into the third period to give the Mules a 2-0 lead. Fellow first-year players Laura Anning (Ingramport, Nova Scotia) and Rebecca Julian (South Windsor, Conn.) had assists on the goal.

The goal was especially important because Amherst (0-2) scored at 6:36. Lindsay Harrington (Westford, Mass.) tallied off assists from Rachel Simon (West Orange, N.J.) and Amanda Mattei (Windsor, Conn.).

Anning scored Colby's first goal of the game at 15:26 of the second period with assists from first-year player Amanda Comeau (Southbury, Conn.) and sophomore Lauren Goethals (Needham, Mass.).

Genevieve Triganne (Point-Claire, Quebec) made 17 saves for Colby (1-1). Stacey Johnston (Kingston, Ontario) had 24 stops for Amherst.
