Box Score

LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – The Spider Hockey team is no stranger to a challenge. Friday's game at Lock Haven proved to be no different. It was the third time this season, a decision would be decided in overtime, and this time it was sophomore Elise Zwicklbauer who notched the golden goal.

It was back-and-forth battle for the much of the game. Both team fired off shots, but nothing found its way into the cage. That was until Lock Haven's Alyscia Smith broke the scoreless game up in the 63rd minute.

Richmond wouldn't go quietly, as sophomore Abby Lyons registered her third goal of the season in the 69th minute, sending the game into overtime.

A little over four minutes into the overtime period, freshman Florentine Beelaerts van Blokland connected with Zwicklbauer who dove in front of the cage to knock the ball in and give the Spiders a 2-1 victory.

Junior keeper Felicitas Heinzel logged 10 saves in the cage. She has had nine games with double-digits saves this season and ranks sixth in single season saves at 127.

Richmond wraps up its road swing on Sunday at Lafayette. Game time is set for 12:00 p.m.
