CORTLAND, NY – Visiting Canton scored with 13.1 seconds remaining in the third period to grab a 1-1 tie against the Cortland women's hockey team on Friday afternoon on Senior Day in Alumni Arena. Cortland is now 11-5-3 (5-2-2 SUNYAC), while Canton is 10-7-3 (2-5-2 SUNYAC).
 
Kira Cook scored her team-leading 12th goal of the season for Cortland, while Katie Mahoney (Toronto, ON/Toronto Leaside Junior) and Fanny Aneborn (Linkoping, Sweden/Lulea HF Sweden) provided an assist apiece. Eline Gillodes (La Saulce, France/Kents Hill) made 34 saves in goal.
 
Molly Lenihan stopped 35 shots in goal for Canton. Anna Pavlasova scored the lone goal for the Roos, with an assist contributed by Riley Andzel.
 
Cortland fired five shots on goal in the first two minutes of the opening period, but Lenihan was up for the task with five saves to keep the game scoreless.
 
After a Canton penalty for tripping seven minutes into the period, the Red Dragons were able to capitalize with a power-play goal to take a 1-0 lead. Mahoney made a pass from the right faceoff circle to Aneborn at the point, and Aneborn sent the puck towards goal that Cook redirected with her skate past Lenihan for the goal.
 
The Red Dragons held the 1-0 edge into the intermission, with Gillodes making 10 saves in the period.
 
Cortland opened the second period with a 7-1 advantage in shots on goal in the first six-plus minutes, but was unable to extend its lead. The Roos responded with six straight shots on goal in the span of two minutes, with Gillodes continuing to maintain the Red Dragons' lead with six stops in that span.
 
Just past the midway point of the frame, Carlen Bertran (Timmins, ON/MCLA) struck a wrist shot off the post with a chance to double the lead on another power play.
 
With under eight minutes left in the period, Canton went on its first power play of the game after a body checking penalty on the Red Dragons, but Bertrand blocked three shots and Gillodes came up with three more saves for the successful kill.

The game stayed 1-0 until the final minute of play in the third period. Canton used it timeout and pulled Lenihan for an extra attacker with 23 seconds left. Although the Red Dragons won the ensuing faceoff, Andzel was first to reach the puck in the corner and eventually worked the puck to the left point, where Pavlasova sent a wrist shot into the net to tie the game in the final seconds.
 
Each goaltender made four saves in the overtime period, with Gillodes making the best save midway through the extra frame with a glove save in front of goal.
 
After the overtime was scoreless, the Red Dragons won the exhibition shootout by a 1-0 score after Mahoney scored on the opening attempt and Gillodes made three saves on Canton's attempts. The shootout could potentially have serve as a tiebreaker in conference standing for postseason play.
 
After the contest, Cortland honored its eight seasons playing in their final season this year: Emma McLean, Ella Iwinski, Katie Diem, Hayley Hunter, Kayla Persinger, Fanny Aneborn, Morgan Raymond, and Ainsley Delacourt.
