WILKES-BARRE, PA- The Utica College women's hockey team got back on track Friday evening as it cruised to a lopsided 9-1 victory over host Wilkes University in United Collegiate Hockey Conference action. Sophomore Maggie Rylott (Cobourg, Ontario/West Northumberland) led the way with a career-high six points for the Pioneers. 
 
Utica took a commanding 4-1 lead in the first period thanks to three goals in a span of 1:49. UC added three more goals in the second stanza and capped off the evening with two goals in the third period.
 
Rylott finished with two goals and four assists on the evening.  The last Utica player to score six points in a game was All-American Megan Myers, who also had two goals and four assists in a 9-0 win over Buffalo State on Feb. 18, 2012.
