WHKY | Ravens Fall in Overtime Battle Against Western

The Carleton Ravens women's hockey team wrapped up their weekend road trip with a hard-fought 2–1 overtime loss to the Western Mustangs on Saturday night at Thompson Arena.

Despite being outshot 39–18, the Ravens stayed competitive throughout the game thanks to a stellar performance from goaltender Kaitlyn Langille, who turned aside 37 shots and kept Carleton within striking distance. Langille's efforts kept the Mustangs off the scoreboard for nearly two full periods after an early first-period goal.

Down 1–0 entering the third, Carleton found the equalizer at 6:03 when rookie Kacie Corkle netted her first career OUA goal, assisted by captain Avery Krawchuk. The Ravens continued to battle, forcing overtime for the second consecutive night.

Western's Kate Suitor ended the contest at 3:52 of the extra frame, wristing one far side above the pad of Langille to secure the win for the Mustangs. Carleton's penalty kill was tested throughout the game, successfully shutting down all four Western power plays, improving to 83.9% on the season.

The weekend split, including Friday's shootout win over Windsor, highlights the team's growth and ability to compete in tight games. Discounting an empty net goal by Laurier last weekend, the Ravens have now played in six straight one-goal games, going 2-2-2 while taking four contests to overtime.
