Canton, NY – On an afternoon that saw her great-aunt, Jill Martin, honored, sophomore Jordan Caroccio scored a first period goal for the SUNY Canton women's hockey team, but the team lost a 2-1 overtime decision to SUNY Morrisville on Saturday.

Martin, wife of legendary men's coach Terry Martin, dropped the ceremonial puck prior to the game.
