WH: Castleton stuns Panthers in overtime

PLYMOUTH, N.H. – Junior Addie Swanson (Eagle River, Alaska) was a force on the ice for Plymouth State University, accounting for the Panthers' lone goal while blocking six shots, but Castleton University scored a late third period goal and added the winner early in overtime to sneak past PSU, 2-1, in a New England Hockey Conference (NEHC) women's ice hockey game at Hanaway Rink on Tuesday afternoon.

After both teams held each other off the scoreboard in the first period, Swanson was able to find the back of the net 2:47 into the second to give PSU a 1-0 lead that would hold for the majority of the game.

Castleton was able to knot the game with 48 seconds remaining in regulation, then converted the game winning goal 20 seconds into overtime.

Plymouth State drops to 5-10-1 overall (3-7-0 NEHC), as Castleton steps up to 7-7-2 and 5-4-1 in the NEHC.

The Basics:

Plymouth State 1, Castleton 2 (OT)
- Plymouth State (5-10-1, 3-7-0 NEHC)
- Castleton (7-7-2, 5-4-1 NEHC)

How it Happened:

Both teams were at a stalemate in the first as neither could solve the opposing goaltender. Each team had a power play chance in the stanza but was unable to convert.
Swanson cashed in the first score of the game early in the second when junior Chantelle Ross (Ottawa, Ontario) outskated a potential icing before dumping the puck in front for Swanson, who converted at 2:47.
Swanson and sophomore Carsen Moffett (Kamloops, British Columbia) led the PSU defense to keep the Spartans off the scoreboard, accounting for nine of the Panthers' 19 blocks.
Senior goaltender Olivia Petito (Jacksonville, Fla.) helped keep the Spartans off the board through the second and much of the third period with 10 saves.
Castleton potted the equalizer with less than a minute remaining on a rebound goal, then finished off the game in the first 20 seconds of overtime.

By the Numbers:

Both defenses remained stout as neither team was successful on the power play. PSU finished 0-for-5, while the Spartans were 0-for-3.
Petito finished with 12 saves, with ten in the second and third periods.
PSU's defense blocked 19 shots, led by Swanson's six and Moffett's three. Freshman Brenna Smith (Medfield, Mass.), junior Sophie Streed (Surry, N.H.) and junior Abigale McGee (Bozeman, Mont.) adding two apiece.
Plymouth State held a narrow 15-14 edge in shots on goal and 44-43 in overall shots.
The teams evenly split 50 faceoffs, with each winning 25.
