Posted: Jan 19, 2024

CANTON, Mass. – Suffolk women's hockey returned to the win column in convincing fashion as four different Rams scored and Lily O'Neil stopped 29 shots to blank Curry, 4-0, Friday night at the Canton Ice House.  

THE BASICS

Suffolk put the game away in the middle period with three strikes in a just under a seven-minute span.  

Bella Schmidt got the scoring going 3:49 in the second on a feed from Anya Nichipor. Katie Newkirk and Liliana Moose teamed up on the power play at the 10:05 mark. The former scored, while the latter assisted. The blue-and-gold's scoring frenzy wrapped up 30 seconds later when Nichipor netted her third goal of the season. Aiden Levee-Oshiro and Schmidt helped in the goal.
