WILKES-BARRE, PA (February 10, 2023) --- First year Brighton Wallin and graduate student Issy Lebrun both recorded four points to set the single game record of points in a game, as the King's College women's ice hockey team picked up the season sweep over Hilbert with an 8-1 win Saturday afternoon at the Revolution Ice Centre. With the win, King's improves to 2-19-2, while Hilbert falls to 0-18-0.
 
King's (2-19-2) dominated the first period, firing off the first 16 shots of the contest, but were unable to breakthrough Hilbert (0-19-0) goaltender Jewely Monford. The Hawks tallied their only shot of the opening period at 16:27, forcing a save from sophomore goaltender Syd Dahl. Late in the period, the Monarchs found the opening goal, as first-year Olivia McTavish converted on the power play, as Lebrun and Wallin picked up the assists, giving King's a 1-0 at 17:22. Just over two minutes later, Wallin collected her first goal of the contest at 19:24 to give King's a 2-0 lead after the first period.
 
The Monarchs started the second period quickly as Wallin collected her second goal of the game at 2:47, picking up the rebound and firing it home, as Lebrun and sophomore Jordan Dittmar claimed the assists. Hilbert did not go away quietly, getting a goal back at 10:08, as Abby Dawson collected a pass from Mia Bouchard to cut the deficit to 3-1 at 10:08. It did not take King's long to respond, as the Monarchs struck twice in a 19 second span, beginning just 13 seconds after the Hilbert goal. First-year Amanda Sokol scored at 10:21 off an assist from sophomore Sam Kulman, before first-year Madison Vaughan scored at 10:40, to give King's a 5-1 lead heading into the period.
 
Once again King's found the back of the net early in the period. This time, junior Aspen Wallin collected her first goal as a Monarch at 5:46, as Vaughan and sophomore Emma Clark picked up the assists. Late in the period, the Monarchs added two more goals. The first came from McTavish at 15:11, who notched her second goal of the game off an assist from Lebrun, before first-year Holly Catarius tallied her first collegiate goal at 16:56, as Lebrun and Wallin both collected the assists, and giving King's the 8-1 win.
 
Dahl got the start in net, stopping 23 of 24 shots. Wallin and Lebrun paced the offense tallying four points apiece, on two goals and two assists, and four assists respectively, while McTavish and Vaughan both added two points. The four assists for Lebrun are also the most in a single game in program history. The Monarchs won 45 of 69 face-offs, led by Dittmar who won 17 of 24 draws, and Vaughan who won 13 of 15. King's was also strong on special teams, going 3-10 on the power play and 7-7 on the penalty kill.
 
Jewely Monford got the start in goal, making 44 saves on 50 shots, before being replaced by Cassie Troy who stopped five of seven shots faced. The Hawks were led by Dawson and Bouchard who both recorded one point, on a goal and an assist respectively.
