Owings Mills, Md. (Jan. 14, 2021) - Alvernia University (4-7-1, 2-4-1) scored two third period goals, but the Golden Wolves were unable to overcome a quick start by Stevenson University (6-7, 5-4) as the Mustangs came away with a 4-2 win on Friday in UCHC and MAC Women's Ice Hockey action at Stevenson.

Alvernia was able to kill off a power play for the Mustangs three minutes later. But, just ten seconds after the power play ended, the Mustangs netted their first of the night off the stick of Cassie Campbell at the 17:25 mark.

With just five seconds left in the first period, and just four seconds after another Alvernia penalty was killed off, the Mustangs extended their lead to 2-0 off a Elizabeth Gaudreau goal.

The Mustangs stayed hot entering the second period after Trinity Barcless netted her first  of the night just under three minutes into the period. 

Alvernia kept Stevenson off the board the rest of the period, but could not net one of its own.

Midway through the third period Alvernia's Sydney Bradley spoiled Stevenson's shutout attempt as she took a pass from Shae Hudec and found the back of the net.

The Mustangs needed just over a minute to respond as Barcless netted her second of the night to make it a 4-1 game with just over nine minutes to play.
