Marlboro, Mass. – After a scoreless first period with minimal scoring chances for both teams, Chatham found the back of the net a total of five times in route to a 5-1 victory over the host Becker College Ice Hawks.
 
Chatham opened the scoring with 11:50 left in the second period when sophomore forward Marissa Janiga scored her first goal of the 2015-16 campaign on a pass from first year defenseman Jillian Rowland for her first career point. Moments later, 50 seconds to be exact, junior forward Erika Martin scored her first goal as well, assisted by junior defenseman Kaitlyn Perrins.
 
The Cougars found the back of the net for a third time in the second period with 2:52 left when Rowland and Martin assisted sophomore forward Cassidy Colhoun for her first of the season.
 
Chatham and Becker traded goals in the first 1:30 of the third period when first year forward KJ Frost scored an unassisted goal and 10 seconds later Bailey Coons scored for Becker on a shot that deflected past sophomore goalie Kasandra Petersen off Rowland's stick.
 
Junior forward Jenny Jones capped off the evening with her second goal of the season when she was assisted by junior forward McKenzie Haskins and senior forward Katrina Hawkins.
 
Petersen was superb in net stopping 16 of 17 shots faced to pick up her first career win in just her second career start between the pipes. Petersen did so thanks to stellar defensive play in front of her by a unit that forced Becker's power play to go 0-6 on the evening.
 
The Cougars finish the series against Becker tomorrow afternoon with puck drop changing from 12:30 to 12:50.
