William Smith rallies past Salem State 3-1

GENEVA, N.Y.—The William Smith College ice hockey team rallied for a 3-1 victory over Salem State in a New England Hockey Conference contest at The Cooler this evening. With the win, the Herons are now 2-2-0 overall this season and 1-1-0 in NEHC play this season.
 
Brit Foster led the way for William Smith with two goals. Four other players recorded a point in the victory. Erin Murray made her collegiate debut and played all 60 minutes in goal, making 21 saves.
 
Jessica Robert scored the goal for the Vikings (0-2-0, 0-2-0). Hannah Aveni played 59 minutes in goal, making 43 saves.
 
Salem State opened the scoring at the 6:28 mark of the first period. Robert redirected a shot from the point past Murray. The power-play goal was assisted by Breanna Greene and Abby Stafford.  William Smith tied the game two and a half minutes later. Brit Foster snapped a shot from the left faceoff circle past Aveni. Her first collegiate goal was assisted by Ava Cornforth. Foster struck again at the 15:58 mark of the opening period. She broke up a clearing pass and snapped a shot from the high slot over Aveni's glove hand.
 
Neither team found the back of the net in the second period. The Herons finished the stanza with a 16-8 advantage in shots on goal. Lauren Jackson fired a shot off the right goalpost with seven minutes remaining in the period.  Salem State's Robert rang a shot off the pipe a few minutes later.
 
William Smith tacked on an insurance goal at the 2:34 mark of the third period. Taylor Ettore snapped a shot past Aveni for her second goal of the season. Elizabeth MacMurray and Emily Rourke were credited with assists on the goal. A minute later, Julianna Gong fired a shot off the goal post. The Herons turned up the pressure with a late third period power play, but they could not sneak another shot past Aveni.
 
William Smith finished the game with a 46-22 edge in shots on goal. Salem State was 1-for-3 on the power play. The Herons could not convert on either of their chances with the extra skater.
