No. 11 Women’s Ice Hockey Blanks Johnson & Wales, 1-0; Moritz Records 31-Save Shutout

BEVERLY, Mass. — The No. 11 Endicott women's ice hockey team defeated Johnson & Wales, 1-0, on Friday night in Conference of New England (CNE) action at Raymond J. Bourque Arena.

Tied 0-0 late in the second period, Julia Carrigan (Northfield, Ill.) broke the stalemate for the Gulls with 1:59 remaining when she buried a slot feed from Mackenzie Graham (Billerica, Mass.) for her fourth career goal.

Jo Wimler (Portland, Conn.) generated the scoring opportunity by creating a turnover behind the net before Graham collected the loose puck in the blocker-side corner and found a wide-open Carrigan in front of the crease.

In goal, Casey Moritz (Trophy Club, Texas) made 31 saves (7-7-17) to improve to 5-2-1 overall this season (33-10-3 career).
