RYE, N.Y. – Manhattanville University women's ice hockey dropped the second game of its series against Oswego State, 6–2, at Playland Ice Casino on Saturday afternoon. The Valiants fell to 2–11-2 (2-2 UCHC) on the season, while the Lakers improved to 9–6 (3-1 SUNYAC) .

Catrina Chinetti (Hyde Park, Mass./Boston Latin Academy / East Coast Wizards) found the back of the net for the Valiants on a man-up opportunity to tie the game at one in the first period. Katherine Stahl (Middletown, R.I./Middletown) and Taylor Willoughby (Camrose, Alberta, Canada/Northern Alberta Extreme) both recorded assists on Chinetti's second goal of the season.
Oswego struck first just under four minutes into the contest. Three minutes after Manhattanville tied the score, the Lakers regained the lead. The visitors converted on three power-play opportunities in the second period to extend their advantage to four goals.

Manhattanville capitalized on another power play in the third period, as Chinetti sent the puck to Emilija Tučiūtė, who then dished it to Abby Mellen (Rockport, Mass./Northfield Mount Hermon / Vermont Academy / East Coast Wizards) for her first goal of the season. The score stood at 5–2 with 15 minutes remaining in regulation.
