(BOX SCORE)

BUFFALO, NY—Buffalo State (8-8-1/5-5-1) had its school-record six-game unbeaten streak snapped in dramatic fashion as Utica (9-7-2/5-5-2) scored the equalizer late and added the winner just 23 seconds into overtime for a 2-1 win in an ECAC West game this afternoon at the Ice Arena.

Christine Williams (Niagara Falls, NY/Niagara Falls) netted her team-best seventh goal of the season with assists from Kailyn Murray (Medicine Hat, AB/Warner Hockey School) and Alanna McMullen (Calgary, AB/Warner Hockey School) to give the Bengals a 1-0 lead midway through the second period. Utica evened the score with 1:05 remaining in regulation with a shorthanded goal with the goalie on the bench in favor of an extra attacker. The Pioneers wasted little time in the extra period, banging home a rebound just 23 seconds into bonus hockey.

Utica outshot Buffalo State, 38-23. Alyssa Koniar (New Berlin, WI/Univ. School of Milwaukee) made 36 saves for the Bengals.

Buffalo State will next host No. 3 in the nation Plattsburgh in the first of a two-game home set next Friday at 7 p.m.
