Marissa Pickman scored her team-best 13th goal of the season just 1:11 into the contest to get the Raiders started, and Lilly Gogan followed with an unassisted breakaway with 3:06 left in the period for a 2-0 lead. BTW pulled one back just 22 seconds before the intermission, using a four-goal middle stanza to break the visitors’ spirit.
“I thought we totally had control of the game,” Lebanon coach Brad Shaw said of his team, which was playing its second road game in less than 24 hours. “But we came out in the second period and looked like a different team.”
Lily Barber and Makayla Maccioli earned assists on Pickman’s goal. Paige Hoegler made 17 saves over two periods and Kayleigh Trietsch added a dozen more while allowing two goals in the third. Lebanon visits Keene-Monadnock-Fall Mountain on Wednesday.
