WORCESTER, MA - On Saturday, November 16th the Anna Maria College women's ice hockey team traveled down to hill to take on the Worcester State University Lancers for a Conference matchup. The AMCATS lost the game 5-2.

The AMCATS competed early in the first period to keep the game tight however the Lancers would manage to squeak one past the AMCATS goaltender off a tip from Olivia Fehl. The Lancers would hold onto the one goal lead for the remainder of the first period.

The Lancers would score two more goals late in the second period after Stevie Levesque stopped and impressive 19 shots to fend off the attacking lancers offense. As the game entered the third period the AMCATS found themselves trailing behind the Lancers 3-0.

Undeterred, the AMCATS came out in the third period and capitalized on an early power play opportunity. The AMCATS first goal of the evening came off the stick of Grace Holden off a shot from Lauren Sundgren. Just under ten minutes later the AMCATS would score off the power play again.
