Mae Batherson was overjoyed when Syracuse scored a power play equalizer in its first game after a 41-day layoff. On top of her team lighting the lamp against conference foe Robert Morris, there was something extra for her to celebrate.
Her linemate Hannah Johnson had just scored her first collegiate goal.
Johnson collected a pass from Tatum White at the blue line before firing a wrist shot through traffic in the Colonials’ crease and in the net. A memorable milestone in Johnson’s career also marked an impressive achievement for the Orange’s freshman class.
