Box score
Playing in her first game of the season, Nikki Haskins ’14 had a hand in both Hamilton goals. Haskins tied the score at 1-1 at 4:38 of the second period with the 27th goal of her career off assists from Teal Gosselin ’17 and Ianthe Lekometros ’16. Haskins now has 44 points in 70 career games.
Jessica Stowell ’17 put Trinity (6-5-3, 2-4-1 NESCAC) up 2-1 seven minutes later. Stowell's first career goal was set up by Emily Kleidon ’14 and Whitney Colbert ‘14. Haskins helped pull the Continentals even again with just 70 seconds to go before the second intermission, setting up Katie Parkman ’17 for the tying goal.
Parkman took over the team’s scoring lead with 13 points. Through 14 games, her eight goals are already the highest total for a Hamilton first year since Lauren Tomford ’10 scored 16 goals in 26 games in 2006-07.
