Scanzano Hits 200-Point Mark in Win Over Brown

ERIE, Pa. – Senior assistant captain Jesse Scanzano became just the third player in Mercyhurst College women's hockey history to record 200 points in a career as her four-point effort Friday afternoon pushed her over the mark and helped the fifth-ranked Lakers hammer Brown, 6-0, at Tullio Arena, home of the 2011 NCAA Women's Frozen Four.

Scanzano scored two goals and dished out two assists to join senior captain Meghan Agosta and 2009 graduate Valerie Chouinard as the only players in the history of the program to achieve the feat. She recorded her milestone point when she buried a feed from freshman Christie Cicero less than seven minutes into the second period. It put Mercyhurst up 3-0 at the time and came less than 10 minutes after she picked up her 199th career point on Cicero's sixth goal of the campaign to end the first. She now has 74 goals and 128 assists through 128 career games.

In another dominating performance by Mercyhurst, the Lakers (17-4-0) held an opponent scoreless for the second straight game and unleashed nearly 60 shots for the contest, holding a 58-16 advantage.

Agosta tied Scanzano with four points in the game, scoring two goals and dishing out two assists as well. Junior Bailey Bram registered a game-high three assists, and senior assistant captain Vicki Bendus and Cicero each scored once and helped out on another.

The Lakers built their lead with a pair of goals in each period. Agosta opened the game when she drilled a shot from the right circle past netminder Katie Jamieson on the power play with 13:03 showing on the clock. Cicero then doubled the lead after taking a pass from Scanzano on the rush with under four minutes to play.

Following Scanzano's milestone score to open the second, Bendus exposed the Brown power-play unit with the Lakers' seventh short-handed score of the year, at 14:31.

Scanzano and Agosta then capped the game with goals in the third, scoring at the 3:27 and 12:20 marks.

Junior Hillary Pattenden earned her third shutout of the season and helped kill off five Brown power plays by stopping all 16 shots over a span of 60 minutes. Jamieson, meanwhile, made a career-high 52 saves and allowed two power-play goals, both by Agosta, on four man-advantage chances.

Both teams close out the two-game series on Saturday, Jan. 15 with another 2 p.m. contest at Tullio Arena. All fans will be admitted free courtesy of the Mercyhurst College Department of Athletics.

NOTES: With the win today, head coach Michael Sisti improves to 299-82-26 in his career at Mercyhurst. During his tenure, the Lakers have averaged 25 wins a season, captured eight straight conference championships, made six consecutive trips to the NCAA Tournament and appeared in the NCAA Women's Frozen Four twice.
