HARTFORD, CONN. - Junior two-time All-America Heather Murphy (St. Paul, Minn.) netted her second hat-trick of the season in Colgate University's 8-0 conquest of ECAC opponent Trinity.  Murphy's first goal proved to be the game-winner, and all three of her markers came in the first period.

Also lighting the lamp for the Red Raiders were freshmen Caitlin Hornyak (Middletown, Conn.), Katie Breen (North Andover, Mass.), and Kara Lisavich (Salem, N.H.), as well as junior Casey Schofield (Syracuse, N.Y.), and junior co-captain Kelly Roos (Milford, Conn.).

Junior netminder Kari Dequine (Aspen, Colo.) stopped just eight shots for her second shutout of the season.  For Trinity,  freshman Meredith MacKinnon withstood 43 shots and all eight Colgate goals before being relieved by fellow rookie Blair Kurtz who stopped another 12 shots.

The Red Raiders take to the ice again tomorrow at 3 pm when they will face Amherst to close out the road weekend.  They will be back in Starr Rink for an ECAC series against Vermont and Rensselaer next weekend, both games starting at 2 pm.
