AMHERST, MA. — The Norwich University women’s ice hockey team’s winless skid stretched to four straight games with a 4-1 loss to Amherst College on Tuesday night at Orr Rink in non-conference action.

Freshman Julia Masotta (Tewksbury, Mass.) scored her third goal of the season off an assist from Ann-Frederique Guay (St. Lambert-de-Lauzon, Quebec), but it wasn’t enough as Amherst got two goals from Kaitlin Hoang and four assists from Mia DelRosso as the Mammoths won their second straight game vs. the Cadets.

After a scoreless first period, the second period featured all five of the game’s goals. Hoang scored two power play goals, while Anne Malloy also scored in between to give Amherst a 3-0 lead after 11 minutes of the middle frame. Masotta got Norwich on the board at the 13:09 mark of the period, however Amherst seized momentum back with Jillian Mazzocca scoring.
