MILFORD, CT (December 7) - The Sacred Heart University women's ice hockey team skated past the Connecticut College Camels Tuesday night at the Milford Ice Pavilion by a final score of 3-1.

Sacred Heart would run the lead to 3-0 4:19 into the third period with Nicole Farrelly goal. Her initial shot was turned away by Camels net minder Gabby Petrill (Greensburg, PA), but the momentum carried the puck over the goal line. Hickman and Michelle Panella (Morganville, NJ) assisted on the play.

The Camels would spoil Stephanie Boulay's (Anchorage, AK) shutout bid with 12:40 remaining in the third when Jill Mauer (Millbrook, NY) banged home a rebound for the lone Connecticut College goal. Aly Ridgway (So. Berwick, ME) assisted on the goal.
