Women's hockey falls in NESCAC championship quarterfinals at Colby

Snow '29 and Truchon '26 had the goals for the Continentals in their 6-2 setback

WATERVILLE, Maine – Colby College scored the first four goals and never looked back in the Mules' 6-2 win against the Hamilton College Continentals in a 2026 NESCAC Women's Hockey Championship quarterfinal inside Colby's Jack Kelley Rink on Saturday afternoon, Feb. 28.
 

Season Update

  • Hamilton (11-9-5 overall) finished with a winning record for the ninth time in the past 10 seasons.
  • Colby (17-6-1) travels to play the No. 1 seed Middlebury College in the NESCAC semifinals on Saturday, March 7.
 

How It Happened

  • Colby opened the scoring 11:02 into the first period. After a pile-up in front of the net, Allie Corrieri received the puck and fired a laser shot from the blue line that found the back of the net.
  • The Mules went up 2-0 on a power-play goal with 2:32 left in the first. Corrieri drove at the defense and passed it to Molly Lefebvre, who rifled a close-range shot into the top corner.
  • The Mules extended their lead to four 6:32 into the second period with two goals just 49 seconds apart. Sophie Melsness scored at 5:43 before Emily Olsthoorn picked up the puck at the blue line while shaking off a defender, maneuvered around the goaltender, and fired the puck into the open goal.
  • Hamilton got a goal back with 1:21 to go in the second. Lila Snow '29 looked like she was going to take the puck behind the net, but instead she fired a shot that squeezed in between the near post and goaltender.
  • Courtney Schumacher made it 5-1 with another power-play tally 8:05 into the third period. In desperation mode, the Continentals pulled goaltender Teagan Brown '27 for a 6-on-4 advantage with 6:33 left when Colby also took a body-checking penalty. The Mules seized the opportunity and Sophia Kennedy scored on the empty net from her own half with 5:31 to go.
  • The Continentals completed the scoring with 2:40 to go as Lydia Bullock '26 fired a close-range shot that rebounded right to Lilly Truchon '26, who tapped the puck into the open goal.
