PITTSTON, PA (November 7, 2026) -- The King's College women's ice hockey team scored four goals and battled back from multiple deficits, but Arcadia University used a pair of early third-period power-play goals to claim a 6-4 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) victory Saturday afternoon at the Revolution Ice Centre. The Monarchs fall to 2-2-0 overall and 0-2-0 in conference play, while the Knights improve to 2-2-0 overall and 2-0-0 in the MAC.
 
First year goaltender Carly Smith made the first start of her collegiate career and was immediately tested just 34 seconds into the first frame, turning aside a shot. Despite the pressure, King's struck first only 75 seconds into the contest.
 
Cameron-Reese Haught generated the opportunity with a backhand attempt that was denied, but the rebound kicked directly to Riley Kumrow. Kumrow stepped into a one-timer and fired the puck past the outstretched pad of the Arcadia netminder for her second goal of the season. Haught earned the assist on the game's opening tally at 1:15.
 
Arcadia answered at the 2:27 mark before adding goals at 9:43 and 12:23 of the opening period to carry a 3-1 advantage into the first intermission. The Knights extended their lead to 4-1 at 7:02 of the second period, but King's began to claw its way back.
 
Following sustained offensive-zone pressure on the power play, Logan Sullivan snuck a wrist shot past a defender that slipped between the goaltender and the post at 12:59. Brynn Holland and Annie Sommer assisted on Sullivan's third goal of the season, trimming the deficit to 4-2 and extending Sullivan's scoring streak to three games.
 
The Monarchs continued to build momentum late in the frame. Chloe Crowley tracked down a rebound that rang around the boards, stepped into the slot, and unleashed a seeing-eye shot through traffic. With Haught providing a screen in front, the puck found its way past the goaltender at 17:07. Chloe Julien picked up the assist on Crowley's second tally of the season, cutting the deficit to 4-3.
 
Moments after the goal, play was halted following an injury to an Arcadia skater at the 17:16 mark of the second period. The extended delay resulted in both teams exiting to their locker rooms before returning after an ice resurfacing to complete the remainder of the period.
 
Play resumed with Arcadia headed to a lengthy power play, and the Monarch penalty kill initially stood strong. Smith and the King's defense successfully navigated the opening portion of the five-minute disadvantage, but the Knights eventually broke through early in the third. Arcadia scored on the power play at 1:25 and struck again just nine seconds later at 1:34 to extend the lead to 6-3.
 
King's refused to go away.
 
Just 58 seconds after the Knights' second power-play goal, the Monarchs answered. Sommer's initial shot redirected off a defender's skate and found Abi Carr near the goal line. Carr wheeled around and fired a shot toward traffic before Haught got a stick on the puck and jammed it home at 2:32. Carr was credited with the primary assist and Sommer with the secondary helper on Haught's team-leading fourth goal of the season.
 
The Monarchs continued to push throughout the remainder of the third period, generating several quality opportunities during a late power play and after briefly pulling the goaltender for an extra attacker, but couldn't capitalize as the final horn sounded.
 
Smith was sharp despite the loss, turning aside 54 shots while facing 60 total attempts from the Knights. Haught finished with a goal and an assist, while Carr, Sommer, Holland, Julien, and Haught all recorded helpers. Kumrow, Sullivan and Crowley accounted for the Monarchs' other three tallies.
 
The Monarchs return to action on Friday, November 13 for their first road test of the season against Wilkes University. Puck drop against the Colonels is set for 3:00 p.m. at the Toyota SportsPlex.
