AMHERST, Mass. -- Goals from Alyssa Xu and Rylee Glennon brought eh Amherst College women's hockey team back from a two-goal deficit Tuesday night, but a late power-play goal spoiled its comeback dreams as Trinity pulled out a 3-2 victory at Orr Rink. 

The Bantams improved to 7-9-1 overall and 3-7-0 in conference play while Amherst slipped to 9-8-1 overall and 6-6-1 in the NESCAC. The two teams will face one another again Wednesday, back at Orr Rink for a 7 p.m. puck drop. 

GAME HIGHLIGHTS:

* Trinity received goals from Bailey McKeon and Jenna Guider to build a 2-0 lead after two periods. 

* The Bantams were able to expand their lead in the second period despite being out shot by Amherst, 14-2. In the first minute of the second stanza, Angelina Wiater had a nice chance from the slot but her shot glanced off the crossbar. Later in the period, Julia Weiss had a one-on-one chance, but Trinity goalie Hannah LeClair smothered her shot attempt. 

*Undeterred, Amherst came out flying in the final frame. Xu received a pass along the right boards and raced into the Bantams' zone, hoplding the puck until the circle when she unleashed an attempt that got by LeClair a millisecond before another Mammoth crashed into the goalie. That made it 2-1 with 14:21 left in the game. 

* Amherst tied the game with 7:22 remaining. Winning the puck in the left corner, Wiater nudged it to Wu who slid it out to Glennon. Glennon circled out of the corner into the top of the circle while Wiater moved to the slot and set up shop in front of LeClair. Glennon took advantage of the screen by snapping a shot past LeClair to make it 2-2.

* Amherst finished with a 31-13 advantage in shots on goal.
