Reading, Pa (February 7, 2025) - Kathryn Palmer netted two goals and Khenzie Connick added the third to power Alvernia University (11-8-2, 7-8-2) to a 3-1 victory over King's College (5-12-3, 5-9-3) Friday night in a MAC women's ice hockey matchup at BodyZone. 

The Golden Wolves netted a goal in all three periods with Palmer tallying the first two thanks to assists from Julia Franklin on both goals. Connick then sealed the deal with an unassisted solo goal to secure the 3-1 victory over the Monarchs. 

How it Happened

• The Golden Wolves leveled the score in the final five minutes of the first period after Julia Franklin picked up the puck in Alvernia's defensive zone, Franklin took the puck all the way into the offensive zone and connected with Kathryn Palmer who flipped the puck past the King's goalie and into the back of the net to make it 1-1 heading into the first intermission. 
• Alvernia sent 19 shots at the King's net in the first 12 minutes of the second period before the Golden Wolves grabbed the lead with just over seven minutes to go in the second period.
