Women’s Ice Hockey Edges Western New England, 4-3

BEVERLY, Mass. — The Endicott women's ice hockey team defeated Western New England, 4-3, in Conference of New England (CNE) action on Friday night at Raymond J. Bourque Arena.

Ella Rago (Quincy, Mass.), Maggie Holt (Cumberland Foreside, Maine), Mackenzie Graham (Billerica, Mass.), and Cammi Ahern (Oswego, N.Y.) all scored in the victory.

Graham broke open a 2-2 tie at 11:19 of the third when she pushed home a loose puck in the crease for her first of the season (fifth career).

Ahern followed with an empty net goal one minute before the end of regulation, which proved to be the game-winner as the Golden Bears potted a power play tally 38 seconds later to make things interesting.

Rago put Endicott on the scoreboard just 1:20 into the matchup, while Holt made it 2-0 at the 1:28 mark of the second.

Western New England countered with back-to-back strikes at 6:32 and 16:05 to set up the three-goal third period. 

Lauren Ferrari (Bridgewater, N.J.) made 16 saves in her collegiate debut between the pipes.
