Dogs beat Niagara 2-1 Sunday

UMD won 2-1 today, outshooting Niagara 43-14. Sara O'Toole left with a back injury it looked like, where she couldn't even put a skate on the ice. She tried to come back for a shift but as soon as she stepped on the ice she had to crawl on the ice back to the bench. Trainers carried her from the bench to the back.

Jessica Hawkins got her first career goal (first period) and the game winner on a giveaway in the Niagara zone, she walked in and buried the puck go put UMD up 2-0.

With as little credit as I gave Niagara before the series, if they had any offensive prowess at all they'd be back in the national spotlight. Their goaltending stopped 73 of 78 (just about 94%)shots on the weekend but only put 34 shots on net for the 2 games. Allison Rutledge really covered up rebounds well (collegehockeystats.net says their other goaltender played today, but I actually think Rutledge played both games, not 100% sure now.)
