Caps March Over Penguins, SU Women Nipped By Late 3, Weekend Sked
Five different Washington Capitals scored goals last night on the way to a 5-2 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tom Wilson’s power play tally with 12:40 to play proved to be the game-winner as the Caps improved to 10-5-4, and are now tied for first in the NHL’s Eastern Division. Next up for Washington, a 1pm skate in New Jersey tomorrow. Air time is 12:45 on The River 95-3.
A 3-pointer with just 12 seconds left was the difference in a 69-68 heartbreaking loss for Shenandoah University Women’s Basketball last night at W&L. The Hornets had several chances to win in the final seconds, but fell short against the 4-1 Generals. Madisen Kimble led the way with 19 for SU.
This weekend on the Shenandoah sports scene, Wrestling competes tonight at Washington & Lee. Tomorrow, Football travels to Bridgewater at 2, Women’s hoop travels to Emory & Henry, and Women’s Lacrosse hosts national power Salisbury.
