ASTON, Pa. - The Neumann University women's ice hockey team won its third consecutive United Collegiate Hockey Conference (UCHC) contest on Friday evening, securing a comfortable 7-0 win over visiting Lebanon Valley College.
 
Senior Bek Lucas provided the biggest highlight of the evening, recording her 100th career point in a Neumann uniform. With a goal and an assist in the game, the forward now has 64 goals and 36 assists in her illustrious career. Jackie Schneider (2 g, 1 a), Katelyn Brown (1 g, 2 a) and Kyleigh Prance (1 g, 1 a) all notched multi-point evenings, while Julia Fair picked up the shutout win in goal with 15 saves.
 
The Knights came out ready to play from the opening face-off, controlling play in the first period by doubling up Lebanon Valley in shots (16-8). Two excellent individual efforts gave Neumann a 2-0 lead heading to intermission. First Steph Grundy weaved her way through three Flying Dutchman defenders on her way to a goal at the 8:37 mark, then Schneider intercepted a neutral zone pass and finished off a breakaway to put the Knights up by a pair.
 
Neumann would break the game wide open early in the second frame with two more goals scored just 17 seconds apart. Emma Paton banged home a Brown pass just over six minutes into the period before Schneider finished off an excellent passing sequence from Lucas and Claudia Trionfo to give the Knights a 4-0 lead. Brown would also add a fifth goal late in the stanza, jamming home a loose puck in the crease to build the lead to five headed to the final period of play.
 
The hosts continued their dominating performance in the third by tacking on two more tallies. Prance scored early in the period and Lucas punctuated the game with a snipe from the slot for her 100th career point. Shots in the game finished at 53-15 in favor of the Knights.
 
Neumann (8-5-2, 6-2-1 UCHC) heads to Hershey tomorrow to complete its home and home series with Lebanon Valley. Puck-drop is scheduled for 1:00 PM.
