No. 4 Nazareth Outlasts SUNY Cortland, 3-2

CORTLAND, NY - After falling behind 2-1 midway through the second period, the No. 4 Golden Flyers rallied, scoring twice in six minutes to win 3-2 in Cortland on Saturday afternoon. Nazareth now sits with a 2-0-1 record overall. 
 
HOW IT HAPPENED:
  • Coming off a three-point performance in the last outing, Amy Laskowski stayed hot as she scored just 28 seconds into the first period. Jessica Bobiles won the offensive zone faceoff back to Laskowski, and she made no mistake, beating the goalie over the right glove. 
  • A competitive first period saw Cortland tie the game 1-1 with a little over four minutes remaining. The first period concluded with Nazareth leading in shots on goal, 8-5. 
  • Just over halfway through the second period, Cortland took their first lead of the game as they scored on the power play. 
  • However, the Golden Flyers responded just a minute later with a power play goal of their own, courtesy of Ella Konrad. Konrad ripped a one-timer off the setup from Laskowski to tie the game at 2-2. Brooke Judkiewicz recorded her first point of the year with a secondary assist. 
  • Later in the second period, Nazareth regained their lead off of a beautiful goal by Cassidy Crogan. Crogan took the pass from Judkiewicz in stride through the neutral zone and deked out the defender before chipping it over the goaltender's right shoulder.
  • The shots on goal were just about even, as Nazareth led 22-21 through two periods. 
  • Despite solid pressure from Cortland in the third period, Nazareth held strong to pick up the 3-2 win. 
GAME NOTES:
  • Laskowski (1G, 1A) and Judkiewicz (2A) both recorded two points. 
  • Konrad registered her first goal of the season.
  • Crogan had the game-winning goal, which marked her first career tally.
  • Bobiles added her third assist in as many games.
  • Gonsalves stopped 27/29 shots, helping Nazareth earn the win.
