PITTSBURGH, Pa. - January 27, 2023 - Chatham Women's Hockey hosted Alvernia tonight in the first matchup of their regular season series. The Golden Wolves maintained the lead throughout despite a valiant effort late in the game from the Cougars. The contest ended 3-2 in favor of the visitors.

The first period remained scoreless for both teams, but Alvernia would open up the scoring in the second with back-to-back goals.

Senior Dena Akers would find the back of the net with a long-range slapshot, assisted by junior Allison Corser-James. Unfortunately, Alvernia would score their third and final goal just over a minute later.

With under two minutes remaining in the game, junior Lauren Carmody scored off of a feed from Akers on a 6-on-5. 

The Cougars were unable to even the score despite some last minute shots on goal.

Akers ended the night with a team-high two points and a +2 rating. Next to Akers, graduate student Ashley Marchant had a game-high three blocks.

First-year Sam Brophy made 18 stops in net.

The Cougars look to earn the weekend split tomorrow against the Golden Wolves once again. Puck drop is at 7 PM at the Hunt Armory.
