Oswego, N.Y. (11/19/2010) – Freshman forward Megan Myers (Las Vegas, NV/LA Selects) netted both of the Pioneers' goals, including the game-winner 4:52 into the third period, as the Utica College women's hockey team defeated ECAC Women's West Conference foe Oswego State 2-1 Friday night.

Junior defender MacKenzie Roy (Concord, NH/Cushing Academy) assisted on both of Myers' goals and freshman net minder Jennifer Hamel (Ithaca, NY/Northwood School) stopped 28-of-29 shots en route to her third victory of the season.

The Pioneers out shot the host Lakers (1-3-3, 0-2-3 ECAC West) 30-29 on the evening and went 1-for-5 on the power-play

Myers gave Utica a 1-0 advantage 10:54 into the first stanza, on the power-play, off assists from Roy and senior captain Lynny Gonzales (Rochester, NY/New Hampton Prep).

Oswego, which tied traditional power Elmira College less than two weeks ago, knotted the game up at 1-1 when Kelly Collins scored her second goal of the young season, unassisted, midway through the second period.
