The Wayne State University women’s hockey team lost a 3-0 decision at Niagara in its College Hockey America league debut Saturday afternoon (Oct. 26).

The first period saw the Purple Eagles outshoot Wayne State 11-8. Niagara got on the board first at the 10:39 mark when Lindsay Vine scored her second goal of the weekend off a scramble in front of the net.

The second period was back and forth with both goalies making several incredible saves to keep the score at 1-0 going into the third period.

Niagara started the third off with a goal, when freshman Amy Jack found the back of the net. Valerie Hall scored the final goal of the afternoon into an empty net with 1:33 remaining in the game.

Warrior netminder Anna VanderMarliere made 25 saves, while NU freshman goalie Breanne Doyle recorded the shutout for Niagara stopping all 20 Wayne State shots.
