Late in the third period, Kristen Siermachesky uncontestedly controlled a loose puck in the left corner of Syracuse’s zone. Looking down the ice for an option, she skated gingerly behind her own net before being swarmed by three Robert Morris skaters who anticipated her move up the right side of the boards.
The Colonials’ Maggy Burbidge left the scrum with the puck, taking it into the corner before dishing it in the direction of Ellie Marcovsky. The rolling puck came to Marcovsky, who was surrounded by two Syracuse defenders. She managed to pull off a wrist shot that slid under Orange netminder Allison Small’s pad to give Robert Morris the game winner 34 seconds after Syracuse’s 1-1 equalizer.
