Box Score

Milford, CT - Senior Lindsay Parsons scored with 23 seconds left in regulation as the Neumann Knights rallied for a 3-3 tie with the Sacred Heart Pioneers in women's ice hockey Saturday afternoon at the Milford Ice Pavilion.

Parsons scored after Jenelle Marier fed her a pass in the slot and Parsons let a flutter shot go that found its way past Pioneer goaltender Stephanie Boulay recording the game tying goal.

Katelin McLaughlin put the Pioneers on the board first when she poked a shorthanded shot past Knights goaltender Lauren Voran with six seconds to go in the first period. After Voran stopped an initial shot by Michelle Panella, SHU's McLaughlin was there to slip the puck through her pads for a 1-0 lead.

Freshman Gina Arnone gave the Pioneers a two goal lead, seven minutes into the second period. Pioneer forward Jane Auxier made it 3-0 after flipping a shot out of the corner past Voran.

Carolyn Fauteux scored a shorthanded goal halfway through the second period, for the Knights first point of the night.

With 8 minutes to go in the second Panella scored off a pass from Arnone. However, the Knights would answer back just 30 seconds later as freshman Robyn Armstrong took a pass from Parsons and fired it past Boulay to pull the Knights within one. After Parsons tied it, neither team had a good scoring opportunity in the extra session.

Voran kept her team in it with 37 saves while Boulay made 32 saves for the Pioneers.

The Knights (0-3-1, 0-2 ECAC West) are back in action Friday night when they travel to Cortland, NY to face Cortland State. Game time is 7:00 p.m.
