ERIE, Pa. - The Mercyhurst University women's hockey team got goals from nine different players and defeated the visiting Ottawa Lady Senators U-19 team, 13-1, on Saturday afternoon in their second exhibition contest of the weekend at the Mercyhurst Ice Center. The Lakers rebounded from a 4-1 exhibition loss to the National Women's Hockey League (NWHL)'s Buffalo Beauts on Friday night.

Junior forward Taylor Accursi led the way with four goals while senior forward Emily Janiga added a pair. Other goal-scorers were seniors Hannah Bale, Jenna Dingeldein, and Kathy Donohue; sophomores Jennifer MacAskill and Sarah Robello; and freshmen Samantha Fieseler and Rachael Smith.

Ottawa scored the first goal of the game in the first period, but Accursi retaliated with back-to-back scores later in the period and the rout was on.

Robello had the only power play goal as the Lakers finished 1-for-3 with the extra attacker. The Lady Senators did not have a power play opportunity.

Lakers' head coach, Michael Sisti, divided the 60 minutes equally among his three goaltenders. Freshman Kerri St. Denis played the first period while freshman Sarah McDonnell and sophomore Jessica Convery worked the second and third periods respectively.

Mercyhurst outshot Ottawa 50-18.

The Lakers will open the regular season next Friday and Saturday, October 2 and 3, at seventh-ranked Quinnipiac University. Game times are set for 7:00 p.m. on Friday and 1:00 p.m. on Saturday in Hamden, Connecticut.
