The offensive woes for the University of Maine women’s hockey team (1-5-2) continued this weekend on the road as the Black Bears lost to Brown 1-0 and Princeton 3-2 in overtime.

In Friday’s game, Katie Guay of the Brown Bears scored the only goal of the game at 12:17 of the first period. Neither team could score in the game as both teams went 0-4 on the power play.

Princeton outshot the Black Bears 39-25 in the game. Senior goaltender Lara Smart made 38 saves for the Black Bears while Princeton senior goaltender Katie Germain made 24 saves in her first shutout of the year. This was the second time the Black Bears were shutout in the season.

In Saturday’s game, Princeton got on the board first after a scoreless first period. At 3:13 in the second period junior forward Rebecca Stewart scored her first goal of the season from junior defenseman Katharine Maglione.

Freshman forward Kate Sunstrum tied the game with an unassisted goal for the Black Bears with only 52 seconds remaining in the second period.

Senior forward Gretchen Anderson gave the Tigers a 2-1 advantage at 14:21 of the third period with assists from senior forward Lisa Rasmussen and sophomore forward Heather Jackson.

The Black Bears tied the game with less than two minutes to play in regulation when senior forward Karen Droog notched her fourth goal of the season with an assist from senior forward Meagan Aarts.

In overtime, Anderson scored her second goal of the game for the Tigers at 2:37 of overtime for the victory for the Tigers. Rasmussen assisted on the game-winning goal.

Princeton outshot UMaine 34-19 in the game. Smart made 31 saves for the Black Bears while sophomore goaltender Roxanne Gaudiel made 17 saves for Princeton.

The Black Bears will end their six game road trip next weekend when they travel to Boston College for a pair of games. UMaine will return home the following weekend to host defending Hockey East champs, the Providence College Friars on Saturday, Nov. 22.
