NCAA
In a February 18, 2012 contest versus Mercyhurst, Dayna Newsom recorded the game-tying goal with 3:09 remaining in the third period. Said goal helped the Colonials rally to a tie against nationally ranked Mercyhurst. She grabbed the puck in the neutral zone and skated into the offensive zone. Newsom proceeded to circle behind the net before flipping a back¬hand into the net. In addition, she logged an assist on the Colonials third goal. She would end the game with her second multi-point game of the season, (eighth in her career, and first in conference play). By scoring the goal, Newsom not only helped the Colonials to a tie, but she played a small part in NCAA history. She prevented Lakers goaltender Hillary Pattenden from winning the 100th game of her NCAA career. Pattenden would have been the first goalie in NCAA history to earn 100 wins, and it was the last game of her career.
