Charron Nets Two as EC Falls to Bengals in Overtime

Buffalo, NY – EC Women's Ice Hockey looked to take their second of two games against the Bengals of Buffalo State College this afternoon. Elmira dominated game on as they cruised to a 5-0 victory but tonight's contest would prove to be much different.

Caitlin Metcalf '13 (Calgary, AB -- Edge School for Athletes) scored the game's opening goal in the second period at the 8:58 mark. Lindsay Mitchell '12 (Arnold, MD -- NAHA) and Tori Charron '14 (Goodwood, ONT -- Aurora Panthers) picked up assists on the opening goal. Less than a minute later the Bengals would even the score at 1-1 with a goal of their own. Charron would give Elmira their second lead of the game at the 12:24 mark in the second period as she scored on an assist from Ella Stewart '14 (Mississauga, ONT -- Notre Dame Hounds Midgets). Two minutes later Buffalo State would again tie the game as the period concluded with a 2-2 score entering the third period.

Buffalo State would claim another lead, this time with less than 7 minutes to play. With their backs against the wall Elmira answered back in a big way as Charron scored her second of the game at the 16:09 mark. Madison Johnston '13 (Toronto, ONT -- Toronto Aeros) and Metcalf earned assists on the goal. Unfortunately for Elmira this would be too little too late as Buffalo would claim a 4-3 overtime victory.

Elmira will look to bounce back from today's loss as they host the Tigers of RIT in EC's final regular season game of the 2011 season on Saturday, February 19th. Face-off is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at the Murray Athletics Center in Pine Valley, NY.
