SCHENECTADY, N.Y. - Sophomore Avery McGlenn (Coaldale, Alb.) picked up her first career hat-trick plus an assist as the Raiders rolled over Division III Union 8-0 Monday night at Achilles Rink.

Freshman Maura Kehoe (Chelsea, Que.) got Colgate on the board early, with an unassisted goal at 2:22 of the first.  That score chased the Dutchwomen’s starting goaltender Victoria Elkins (Bernardsville, N.J.) from the net, and she was replaced by rookie Heather Olney (Rochester, N.H.).

Freshman Jen Fallon (Bayonne, N.J.) put the Raiders up by two just 1:21 later, when she tallied her first collegiate goal.  Classmates Kristin Cirbus (Jamestown, N.Y.) and Cheryl Setchell (Sydney, N.S.) assisted on the tally.

McGlenn scored her first goal at 7:10 off a pass from Fallon, and senior Maura Crowell (Mansfield, Mass.) scored the Raiders’ fourth goal at 11:24, with sophomore Lori Marshall (Plano, Texas) and McGlenn getting credit for the helpers.  McGlenn ended the first period with her second goal, from senior Heather Smith (Lake Bluff, Ill.) and Crowell.

Colgate slowed its blazing scoring pace in the second and third, tallying the last three goals of the game in the middle stanza.  Freshman Shelby Nelson (Osterville, Mass.) picked up her first career goal at 4:47.  Sophomore Katie Breen (North Andover, Mass.) scored at 13:54 from Setchell and Cirbus, and McGlenn topped off the game with a power-play goal, just eight seconds into the man-advantage, from Cirbus and senior Heather Murphy (St. Paul, Minn.).

Junior goaltender Jen Burtraw (Brantford, Conn.) made nine saves to earn her 12^th career shutout.  Elkins made five saves, while Olney had 30 in the loss.

The Raiders improve to 5-7-1, while Union drops to 2-8-1. Colgate returns to action in the New Year on January 5^th and 6^th when they travel to Mercyhurst.
