Dogs Sweep, Win 1-0 over BSU

UMD finished the sweep, winning 1-0 behind Karine Demeule scoring and Johanna Ellison shutting the door on 16 Bemidji State shots. Bemidji played a much tighter fore-checking game, and better in the neutral zone today than Saturday's game.

Bemidji did get ripped off in the 2nd period today... While BSU had a 2 player advantage, UMD took a third penalty, for too many players on the ice. Sara O'Toole and Iya Gavrilova were in the penalty box, and Myriam Trepanier was in the box to serve the too many player penalty. When O'Toole's penalty ended, she was let out of the box during play.. which was the WRONG decision by the scorers table/penalty box crew. Trepanier's two minutes should have started immediately when O'Toole's penalty ended and she should have remained in the box herself until the next whistle. It cost Bemidji the chance of continuing to have a two player advantage for another 39 seconds.

When the referee (Chris Perrault) figured out something was wrong, he blew the play down and after 10 minutes of talking to both coaches and the scorers table, he STILL didn't get it right and UMD was down only one player for those 39 seconds.

Unless some rule has that's been around forever has been changed... Bemidji State's best oppurtunity to score on the weekend was thwarted by a mistake by the referee and scorers table.
