Hawks Escape Gators with 2-1 Win in OT

ALBANY, N.Y. – The Hawks traveled to the astroturf field of UAlbany on Wednesday night to square off in an Empire 8 matchup against Russell Sage and found themselves having to rally in overtime to take the 2-1 win.
 
THE BASICS
 
  • Final Score:  Hartwick 2, Sage 1, OT
  • Location:  Albany, N.Y.
  • Records:  Hartwick (7-1 Overall, 3-0 Empire 8), Sage (3-6 Overall, 0-3 Empire 8)
 
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
 
  • The Hawks struggled to get their offense going in the first quarter, only drawing two penalty corners and getting off three shots, all belonging to Julie Ruzzi (Rondout Valley, N.Y.).
  • Hartwick continued to get off a handful of shots in the second, but it wasn't until Ruzzi cashed in on a penalty corner, finding the back of the cage in the 25th minute off of the Sami Shortino (Webster, N.Y.).
  • The offense started to get rolling in the third as the Hawks equaled the number of shots taken in the first two quarters combined.
  • Despite Hartwick's offensive efforts, a late quarter penalty corner drawn by the Gators ended in a Russell Sage goal, knotting the score up at 1-1 with 40 seconds remaining in the quarter.
  • The Hawks came up empty again in the fourth quarter, sending the teams to overtime.
  • Playing 7v7 in the extra frame, Hartwick came out strong, getting off five shots in a matter of a minute.  However, four saves by the Gators' goalie and defensive save, kept the Hawks off the scoreboard.
  • Three more minutes would go by without a tally until Ruzzi broke the deadlock for the game-winning goal in the 64th minute to give Hartwick the 2-1 win.
 
UP NEXT FOR THE HAWKS
 
The Hawks will take a quick break from Empire 8 action as they head to Saratoga Springs tomorrow to take on the Skidmore College Thoroughbreds at 4 PM.
