NEW LONDON, Conn. - Senior forward Ariel DiPasquale (Whitestone, N.Y.) had two goals and one assist and sophomore Justina Germano (Westwood, Mass.) scored twice to lead the Connecticut College women's hockey team to a 6-2 victory against visiting Salve Regina University Tuesday.

Melanie Sherlock (Colorado Springs, Colo.) and Rachel Porter (Franklin, Mass.) tallied third period markers for the Seahawks. Samantha Zitzer (River Forest, Ill.) assisted on both tallies. Senior Ali Muehlbronner (Glenside, Pa.) made 17 saves in the setback for the visitors (5-4). 

Samantha Shufenecker (Oswego, N.Y.) and Leigh Getz (Clifton Park, N.Y.) both contributed a goal and an assist in the home opening win for the Camels (1-1-1). Senior net-minder Amy Leichliter (West Chester, Pa.) stopped 27 shots for the hosts.

The Camels vaulted out to an early lead at the 9:05 mark when DiPasquale broke free and went top shelf to make it a 1-0 contest. Later on in the frame just 4:04 away from the intermission, Getz unloaded from the point for a power play goal to make it a 2-0 game.

The Camels put this game away with a critical sequence of plays in the closing minute of the middle period. With 22 seconds left in the period, Shuffenecker stuffed one in to make it a 3-0 Camel lead. Then, on the ensuing face-off, Getz won a face-off to Germano, and the sophomore sharp-shooter took full advantage, finding the back of the net for her first goal of the night.

Salve mounted a comeback midway through the third period, lighting the lamp twice in 1:14 duration to make it a 4-2 contest. The Camels were then sent to the box with 3:45 remaining in regulation and the Hawks emptied the goal to gain a two-woman advantage in the zone.

But with 2:27 remaining, Germano put in a shorty to make it a 5-2 contest. DiPasquale closed out the scoring with another shorthanded goal at 18:14 and the Camels had secured the 6-2 win.

The Seahawks out-shot the Camels 29-to-23 in the contest but the Camels were a perfect 1-for-1 on the power play.

The Camels will host Hamilton College Friday, November 30 for a 7:00 p.m. NESCAC game in Dayton Arena.  On the same night, the Seahawks will host the Purple Knights from St. Michael's College for a 7:30 p.m. contest in the Ocean State.
