SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. - The Saint Michael's College women's ice hockey received team a 38-save performance from junior Erin Stevens (Watertown, Conn./Connecticut Polar Bears) during a 4-0 loss to Manhattanville College in an Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) East match-up on Saturday at Cairns Arena. The Purple Knights fall to 1-14-1 overall and 0-11-1 in the ECAC East, while the Valiants improve to 8-7-2 and 6-3-1.

Stevens allowed only two even-strength goals during the contest, both in the latter stages of the opening period, against a team that grabbed a lead against top-ranked Norwich University on Friday.

Junior Katie Little (Victoria, British Columbia/Team British Columbia) led Manhattanville with a goal and an assist, while classmates Jessica Kehoe (Kemptville, Ontario/Nepean Wildcats) and Mary Rose Morrison (Ridgefield, Conn./Connecticut Stars) and sophomore Caitlyn Beauvais (Port Coquitlam, British Columbia/Pacific Steelers) also found the net. Freshman Alla Traun (Edina, Minn./Minnesota Thoroughbreds) contributed with two helpers, while classmate Kirsten Shaughnessy (Le Center, Minn./LeSeuer-Henderson St. Peter) saved seven shots to earn the shutout.

Stevens kept the Valiants off the board early, tipping a point-blank shot over the net with her blocker just 90 seconds in, before Beauvais started off the scoring at the 12:29 mark on a one-timer. Morrison doubled the lead by tucking a shot inside the right post at 17:07.

Freshman Sarah Maloney (Ashby, Mass./The Winchendon School) nearly cut into the Purple Knights' deficit during the first two minutes of the second period, but her back-handed shot at the left post was denied by Shaughnessy, who extended her right leg pad. A little more than 3:30 into the period, junior Melissa Coughlin (Franklin, Mass./Franklin) rushed up the right wing and sent a shot narrowly beyond the left post.

Kehoe tallied the lone goal in the second frame at the 10:37 mark, as Traun picked up an assist, and Little finished off the scoring at 3:08 of the third period. Traun earned her second assist of the night off the final tally.
