Bell Scores First Career Hat Trick As No. 9 Wilkes Women's Ice Hockey Downs King's 5–1

WILKES-BARRE – Megan Bell (Waterloo, ON/St. David Catholic) scored her first career hat trick on Friday afternoon, as the ninth-ranked Wilkes University women's ice hockey team remains unbeaten on the young season following a 5–1 victory against cross-town rival King's College.

The win improves the Colonels to 4–0, including 3–0 in Middle Atlantic Conference play, while the Monarchs drop to 2–3, and 0–3 in the conference.

It was actually the Monarchs who took the early lead on their first shot attempt of the afternoon, when King's pressure allowed the puck to find Logan Sullivan, who buried the shot to take a 1–0 lead 6:49 into the game.

The Monarchs held the lead for just 56 seconds, after Bell answered with her first goal of the day. Bell flew down the ice to find Haylee Bouchard (Sioux Lookout, ON/Sioux North), who passed it back to Bell for the backhand tap-in, evening the score at 1–1.

Bell tacked on another before the end of the first period, converting another shot just outside of the crease with 3:06 remaining in the first period, and Wilkes held a 2–1 lead into the first intermission.

Bell finished the hat trick just 1:43 into the second, when the junior scored off of a Kayla Lunney (Birmingham, MI) shot that was deflected out by the Monarchs' goaltender. The Colonels extended their lead with 4:15 left in the period when Jasmine Kohl (Moose Jaw, SK) navigated through traffic to score her first goal as a Colonel, and Wilkes held a 4–1 lead with 20 minutes remaining, outshooting the Monarchs by a staggering 44–3 through two periods.

Karolina Skorepova (Prague, Czechia) tacked on her third goal of the season at 9:07 in the final period, including her second straight game with a goal, and the ninth-ranked Colonels cruised to a 5–1 victory.

Wilkes dominated the Monarchs across the board, taking 61 shots to King's 7, and controlling 46 of 59 faceoffs. Lunney led Wilkes with seven total shots, and six different Colonels took at least four shots. Audrey Milne (London, ON/St. Thomas Aquinas) picked up her second win of the season in goal, recording six saves.

Both teams return to the Toyota SportsPlex tomorrow, Nov. 14, to complete the weekend series. Puck drop is at 3:45 p.m.
