Women’s Ice Hockey Defeated by William Smith, Dellacroce Scores First Career Goal
Posted: Nov 17, 2023

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The Albertus Magnus College women's ice hockey team fell to the Herons of William Smith College on Friday evening, 4-2.

Tori Walsh (Marystown, Newfoundland) notched her third career goal, while Gabriella Dellacroce (Woodbridge, Conn.) scored her first career goal.

THE BASICS
FINAL: William Smith 4 | Albertus Magnus 2
RECORDS: Albertus Magnus (0-6-1) | William Smith (5-3-0)
BOXSCORE

HOW IT HAPPENED
The Falcons found the early goal at the 5:48 minute mark on a power play advantage. Walsh fed a pass into Molly Martin (Buffalo, N.Y.) who then took a shot to deflect off the Herons' goaltender, Erin Murray, to the back post. Walsh skated in to tap the puck in for a 1-0 lead. Despite the Herons having a 11-4  advantage in shots, the Albertus defense pushed to blank William Smith in the first period.

The Herons were able to score two unanswered goals in the second period, outshooting the Falcons 19-10. 

William Smith kicked off the third period with a goal at the 8:55 minute mark during a power play advantage for a 3-1 lead, but the Falcons were able to take one back at the 12:30 mark. During an Albertus power play, M. Martin backhanded a pass to Dellacroce to set her up for a shot from distance that made its way through the crowd of defenders to score.

In a last ditch effort to even the score, the Albertus team conceded an empty net goal in the last 14 seconds of play for a final score of 4-2.
