Southern Maine Knocks off Colby College, 2-1

GORHAM, Maine: Sophomore goalie Karen Jamnik (Cranston, R.I.) turned aside 31 shots, including 15 in the third period, as the University of Southern Maine Huskies upset the visiting Colby College White Mules, 2-1, in a non-conference game Tuesday night at the USM Ice Arena.

Junior forward Holly Manning (Northfield, Vt.) scored the game-winning goal off a soft pass from senior forward Karen Harrison (Lakewood, Calif.) at 14:46 of the second period, while the Huskies were shorthanded.

Southern Maine had taken a 1-0 lead at 8:17 of the middle frame, when freshman forward Molly Zogby (New Hartford, N.Y.) pounced on a loose puck in the crease and whistled a shot into the net. However, Colby answered at 10:36, when senior forward Carrie Swiderski (Watertown, Conn.) scored on a four-on-four situation.

Colby held a decided edge in play in the third period, outshooting Southern Maine by a 15-2 margin, but was unable to net the equalizer. Overall, Colby outshot Maine by a 31-14 count. Freshman goalie Lynn Hasday (Rockville Center, N.Y.) had 14 saves for Colby.
