Trailing 3-2 with just over two minutes remaining in regulation, Britt Nawrocki found the back of the goal to help the #4 Middlebury women's ice hockey team tie #14 Endicott 3-3. The game was the first for the Panthers in the New Year and the second meeting between the teams this season. 
 
HIGHLIGHTS

• The Gulls opened the scoring with 5:07 elapsed. Netminder Sophia Will denied an initial point-blank range shot by Maggie Lynch, but Rivers Morris was there to poke in the rebound for the 1-0 edge.
• With just 53 ticks off the clock in the second period, Middlebury knotted the contest at one goal apiece. Cat Appleyard sent a pass from behind the goal to Kate Flynn who went bar down from the doorstep.
• The Panthers took a 2-1 lead midway through the stanza when Appleyard lifted the puck from the top of the left faceoff circle, and tucked it under the crossbar.
• Endicott responded at the 16:48 mark just as a Middlebury penalty expired. The teams skated four-on-four, and as the Panther was released from the box, Lily Anderson snuck the puck inside the left pipe to even the game at 2-2.
• The Gulls regained their advantage with 4:31 gone in the third stanza. An initial blast by Sami Barletta trickled through traffic and reached Morris, who tipped the puck into the goal for the 3-2 edge.
• Nawrocki found the equalizer with 2:07 left in regulation. Callia Ferraris sent a beautiful cross-ice pass that Nawrocki one-timed into the net to knot the contest 3-3.
• Middlebury dominated the overtime stanza, ripping nine shots on goal. The best chance for the game-winner came with 2:48 remaining, but Gulls' goalie Casey Moritz sprawled out and kicked away Flynn's attempt to preserve the tie. 

NOTES

• Flynn's goal was her team-leading fifth of the season. 
• The Panthers were dominant in the faceoff circle, holding a 43-11 advantage, with Molly MacQueen claiming 18 or her 20 battles.
• Middlebury edged Endicott 1-0 in its first meeting of the campaign, as the Panthers now own a 9-0-2 mark against the Gulls. 

The Panthers travel to fourth-ranked Plattsburgh State on Tuesday for a 7:00 p.m. contest and will look to avenge its 3-1 loss from earlier this season.
