No. 9 Wilkes Women’s Ice Hockey Completes Weekend Sweep of King’s College

WILKES-BARRE, Pa. – The Wilkes University women's ice hockey team completed a weekend sweep of King's College on Saturday afternoon with a 5-0 win. 

Off the back of a three-point performance from Delaney Howard (Pittsburgh, PA), the Colonels defeated their cross-town rivals once again, combining for eight goals between the two weekend games. 

With the victory, the Colonels remain undefeated this season, 5-0-0 (4-0-0 MAC). The Monarchs fall to 2-4-0 (0-4-0 MAC). 

Wilkes opened the scoring exactly 15 minutes into the first period, with Jordan Ferry (Bohemia, NY/) lighting the lamp.

Howard fed Ferry from behind the net, with the latter one-timing the puck past Carly Smith for 1-0. The Colonels kept the pressure high throughout the opening 20 minutes, recording 18 shots on goal. 

The first 15 minutes of the second period were dominated by Wilkes, with chance after chance denied by Smith. 

However, it wouldn't be long until the Colonels opened the flood gates with a deluge of goals.

Howard scored on the power play with a top-shelf snipe on the power play, with Jasmine Kohl (Moose Jaw, SK) and Lily Zingaro (Collingwood, ON), assisted by Howard scoring shortly thereafter. 

In total, the home side scored three goals in under three minutes to take a commanding 4-0 lead. 

After coming in relief for the Monarchs, Kailyn Williams stood tall between the pipes before Howard scored once more just before the 18-minute mark in the third. 

When push came to shove, the Colonels came out victorious with a decisive 5-0 win, with goaltender Emily Connel recording a nine-save shutout. Ferry led Wilkes with 11 shots on goal, with Megan Bell (Waterloo, ON/St. David Catholic) recording nine. 

For the Monarchs, Chloe Julian and Victoria Fleury-Wright each recorded two shots on net. Monarchs goaltending combined for 56 saves, with Smith making 42 stops. 

Moving onto their next game, the Colonels return to the ice on Friday, Nov. 20 for a tilt against Lebanon Valley College. Puck drop against the Flying Dutchmen is slated for 4 p.m. from Hersheypark Arena.
