Women's hockey sweeps Wesleyan, back-to-back shutouts for Brown '27

Weiss '25 tallied a career-high three points on a goal and two assists for the Continentals

CLINTON, N.Y. – Hamilton College's Abby Weiss '25 registered a career-high three points and Teagan Brown '27 made 28 saves in the Continentals' convincing 5-0 NESCAC win against the Wesleyan University Cardinals inside Hamilton's Russell Sage Rink on Saturday afternoon, Jan. 18.
 

Season Update

  • The Continentals (6-8-1, 2-5-1 NESCAC) completed the season sweep of Wesleyan as they also shut out the Cardinals 1-0 on Jan. 17.
  • Wesleyan (6-10-0, 1-7) dropped its fourth straight and was blanked for the fifth time this season.
 

How It Happened

  • After a scoreless first period, the Cardinals caught a huge break early in the second when two Hamilton players were sent to the penalty box at the same time, handing Wesleyan a 5-on-3 advantage for a full two minutes. The Cardinals mustered just one shot on goal and squandered their golden opportunity.
  • The Continentals went on the power play about three minutes later and grabbed a 1-0 lead 8:05 into the second. Katie Allen '26 redirected a shot by Weiss on goal and Sami Smith made a great save but didn't hold it. Grace Puskar '27 poked in the rebound at the top of the crease.
  • Ava Romano '27 made it 2-0 with 3:14 left in the period. Bri Rockwood '28 sent a backhand centering pass from behind the goal line and Romano hammered a one-timer from the high slot into the back of the net.
  • Jamie Porter '28 scored a back-breaking goal for Hamilton with just 15.8 seconds remaining in the period. Porter, who was set up in the left faceoff circle with her back to the goal, tipped a shot by Sophie Berghammer '26 between her legs and inside the right post for a 3-0 lead.
  • Weiss gave the Continentals a four-goal cushion 2:32 into the third period. Carly McMahon '27 passed from the end boards to a wide-open Weiss at the top of the right faceoff circle for the one-timer.
  • Gabby Martiniello '28 completed the scoring with 8:11 left. Martiniello came up with the loose puck after an errant pass by Wesleyan in its defensive zone. Sarah Myziuk '28 set up a screen directly in front of the goaltender, and it's likely that Smith never saw Martiniello's high wrist shot from above the left faceoff circle.
 

Notes

  • Weiss doubled her point total this season from three to six.
  • Brown posted her second shutout in as many days and third in 11 starts this season. She hasn't allowed a goal in 144 minutes. Brown lowered her goals against average to 1.55 and has a .947 save percentage.
  • Puskar finished with a goal and an assist and recorded her second multi-point game this season.
  • Martiniello tallied her first collegiate goal.
  • Romano notched her first career goal at Hamilton.
  • Porter, who had the game-winner Friday night, scored for the second time this weekend.
  • McMahon picked up her first assist this season and the third of her career.
  • Rockwood registered her first collegiate point.
  • Grace Crowley '26 won a dozen faceoffs.
  • Smith stopped 20 shots for the Cardinals.
  • The Continentals were 1-for-4 on the power play while Wesleyan was 0-for-3. Hamilton's penalty kill is a perfect 29-for-29 this season.
  • The Continentals are 10-1-2 against the Cardinals in their last 13 meetings.
