Three minutes later, Skidmore's Julie Lutz (Auburn, N.H.) also missed a penalty shot opportunity when her shot went wide left.

Joyce finished with 13 saves for the Owls (1-2), who have dropped their last two games. Megan McAdams (Caraopolis, PA) had six saves for Skidmore (3-0), which remains undefeated.
