Hosman and Outwater Lift No. 6 Penn State to 2-1 Overtime Win at St. Lawrence

CANTON, N.Y. – First-year Megan Hosman scored the game-tying goal in the third period before junior captain Grace Outwater netted the overtime winner with 31 seconds remaining to lift the Nittany Lions to a 2-1 victory over St. Lawrence Saturday afternoon at Appleton Arena.

Sophomore Mikah Keller and junior alternate captain Nicole Hall assisted on Hosman’s goal, while Hosman picked up the primary assist on Outwater’s overtime winner.

HOW IT HAPPENED:

  • Penn State generated several early opportunities, with junior Alanna Devlin putting a shot on net before sophomore Sophie Morrow tested St. Lawrence goaltender Kassidy Lawrence twice in an 11-second span.
  • The Nittany Lions earned the game’s first power play at 7:59 following a tripping call on St. Lawrence’s Abby Hehl, but a cross-checking penalty on first-year Kylie Amelkovich cut the advantage short.
  • The teams traded abbreviated power plays and stretches of four-on-four action as St. Lawrence’s Rylan Haslam was called for slashing at 10:47 and Penn State’s Lorelai Nelson was assessed a hooking penalty at 11:45. Neither side broke through.
  • Penn State killed off another penalty late in the frame after sophomore Danica Maynard was called for tripping at 17:48.
  • Penn State held a 6-5 edge in shots on goal heading into a scoreless first intermission.
  • Early in the middle frame, Hosman, junior Grace Tullock, and Outwater generated chances within a 45-second span, including a breakaway opportunity for Outwater, but none could capitalize.
  • St. Lawrence broke the scoreless tie at 11:26 in the second period as Sonia Mehta scored off assists from Barbora Jurickova and Jaylee MacKinnon to give the Saints a 1-0 lead.
  • Nelson tested Lawrence twice late in the frame, including on a two-on-one rush, but neither attempt found the back of the net.
  • Penn State outshot St. Lawrence 14-7 in the middle frame, with first year goaltender Morgan Stickney making six saves to keep the deficit at one heading into the third period.
  • The Nittany Lions killed off an early hooking penalty in the final frame before earning a power play at 5:25 following a cross-checking call on St. Lawrence’s Alexia Côté.
  • Hosman capitalized on the advantage just 27 seconds later, burying a one-timer from the blue line to tie the game at one.
  • Penn State successfully killed off another roughing penalty later just under the midway point of the frame to preserve the tie.
  • The Nittany Lions held a 12-7 edge in shots on goal in the third period, while Stickney stopped all seven shots she faced to send the game to overtime.
  • Penn State continued to apply pressure in the extra minutes, outshooting the Saints 3-1.
  • Outwater then delivered the game-winner with 31 seconds remaining in overtime, skating around two St. Lawrence defenders and firing a shot from the slot to secure the 2-1 victory.
