Box Score DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The eighth-ranked St. Scholastica women's hockey team extended its unbeaten streak to 10 games Friday as five of seven goals were scored on the power-play in a 7-3 victory over Adrian College (Mich.) at Mars Lakeview Arena.

The Saints put up three unanswered goals in the first period as Kaitlin Johnston (Lake Elmo, Minn./Stillwater HS) started the scoring early when she capitalized on a power-play goal six minutes and 25 seconds into the first period.  Johnston was assisted by Taylor Guzzo (Silver Bay, Minn./William Kelley HS (UW-River Falls)) and Briget Cojocar (Limerick, Saskatchewan/Lafleche HS (Melville Prairie Fire)).

On another power-play about half-way through the period, Isabel Waidacher (Arosa, Switzerland/Graubunden Canton School (ZSC Lions/Swiss U18 National)) scored her first of the night, unassisted.  The Bulldogs replaced Jade Walsh with Brooke Gibson after the second goal.

With less than three minutes remaining in the first, Cojocar lit the lamp on the Saints third power-play assisted by Johnston and Monika Waidacher (Arosa, Switzerland/Wirtschaftsschule KV Chur (Swiss National Team)).

After one period of play the Saints outscored the Bulldogs 3-0, but were outshot 15-8.

Isabel scored her 13th of the season just 2:42 into the second period.  Adrian responded with back-to-back goals by Sydney Smith (3:44) and Sarah Shureb (8:20) to end the period with a 4-2 score.

The Saints took advantage of an Adrian major penalty scoring two during the duration of the penalty. Nina Waidacher (Arosa, Switzerland/Wirtschaftschule KV Chur (ZSC Lions/Swiss U18 National)) teamed up with her sister Isabel and Michelle Fischer (St. Paul, Minn./Cretin-Derham Hall) for a goal just 34 seconds into the third period. Cojocar followed with another goal and her second of the game less than two minutes later to give the Saints a 6-2 lead.  Adrian switched goalies again putting Allie Carter in net.

Nina was back at it again when she scored her second of the game at 6:27 of the third.  Nina was assisted by Fischer.

Adrian responded with a power-play goal by Kelsey Kusch late in the period, but it was not enough as the Saints took game one 7-3.

The Saints (8-0-2, 6-0-1 NCHA) were 5-for-9 on the power-play, but were outshot 34-29.  Saints goaltender Lindsey Hartfiel (Big Lake, Minn./Buffalo HS) stopped 31 shots. The Bulldogs (6-3-0, 4-3-0 NCHA) are ranked 10th in this week's D3hockey.com poll.
