DULUTH, Minn. (
csssaints.com) – The St. Scholastica women's hockey team broke open a 1-1 game at the second intermission by scoring three, third period goals to defeat Concordia College-Moorhead 4-2 Friday night in the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) series opener at Mars Lakeview Arena.
How it Happened
Mariah Haedrich (Hermantown, Minn./Hermantown HS) got the scoring started eight minutes into the game with assists from
Rachel Anderson (Shoreview, Minn./Mounds View HS) and
Taylor Thompson (Buffalo, Minn./Buffalo HS). The Cobbers answered just over a minute later to tie the game at 1-1. Concordia outshot the Saints 18-6 in the opening period.
After an uneventful second period, which saw no scoring or penalties,
Abby Pohlkamp (Baxter, Minn./Brainerd HS) gave the Saints the lead back just 45 seconds into the third period to make it 2-1.
Lauryn Hull (Kimberly, Wis./Kimberly HS) and
Allie Bussey (Hibbing, Minn./Hibbing HS) had the assists. CSS extended its lead to 3-1 with a power-play goal from
Taylor Thompson (Buffalo, Minn./Buffalo HS) with 10:20 remaining. Anderson and
Kayla Kasel (Forest Lake, Minn./Forest Lake HS) had the assists.
Courtney Bloemke (Nicollet, Minn./Mankato West HS) added insurance two minutes later to make it 4-1 with assists from
Lisa LaRoche (Minnetonka, Minn./Minnetonka HS) and goaltender
Ashlea Arvidson (St. Cloud, Minn./St. Cloud Cathedral HS). The Cobbers added a power-play goal moments later, but the Saints would kill-off a penalty right after that goal and take the 4-2 win.
Goaltending
Arvidson made a career-high 42 saves in the win for the Saints. Kiana Flaig had 21 saves for the Cobbers.
Up Next
