Lucy Morgan backed up her ECAC Hockey MAC Goaltending Goalie of the Week honors with a 36-save performance, but the St. Lawrence University women's hockey team's offense failed to produce a goal, falling to Quinnipiac 1-0 at Frank Perrotti Jr. Arena on Monday afternoon.

Taylor Girard scored the game's only goal, taking advantage of a turnover in the Saints' defensive end and firing a shot top shelf past Morgan with 4:40 remaining in the second period.

"We gave it everything we had today at Quinnipiac," said Saints' head coach Chris Wells '92 P'23. "We were one shot away from stealing a point. Playing three games in three days gave us some valuable game experience that we will use heading into next weekend's games."

Catie Boudiette made 15 saves for Quinnipiac, which outshot the Saints 37-15. 



Despite the shot discrepancy, St. Lawrence did have several scoring chances. Five minutes into the second period, Julia Gosling worked a puck free on the half boards and broke free towards the net, but Boudiette stopped her backhand bid. Anna Segedi had a great chance on a rebound from the right circle a few minutes later, but Boudiette was able to get over in time to make a pad save.

Both teams were 0-for-2 on the power play.

The Bobcats improved to 8-4-0 overall and 3-3-0 in ECAC Hockey play. St. Lawrence fell to 1-5-0, 1-4-0.

St. Lawrence was originally scheduled to face Clarkson on Wednesday night at Appleton Arena, but that contest has been postponed due to a pause on athletic activity at Clarkson until February 22 due to COVID-19 protocols. The Saints will play a home-and-home series with Colgate this weekend, hosting the Raiders on Friday at 5 p.m., then traveling to Hamilton for a 4 p.m. start on Sunday.
