UMD Beats Mercyhurst 3-1

Welcome back Emmanuelle Blais! Her presence on the ice gives opponents something more to worry about.. she can blow by defenders when she turns it up.

Meghan Agosta scored the first goal of the game, and had another go off BOTH corners of the net.. sorta ringed the crossbar if it were round ;)

Greg Shepherd (supervisor of officials) was in the arena today.. which seems always to make the officials let a lot more physical play go..at least in the women's games it does.

UMD played 60 minutes today for sure.. rather than take the second period off like Saturday's game.

Erin Olson's doing a great job with Tawni Mattila out, winning most of the faceoffs she takes, especially in the UMD zone. The faceoffs are one of Mattila's specialties..so to speak. Her and Tuominen won probably 80% OF the faceoffs they took today. Olson's also had a lot of good scoring opportunities, but hasn't 'lit the lamp' yet.

And of course, Kim Martin.... she did a great job, especially in the third when Mercyhurst players were crashing into her every time the puck was near her. (Mercyhurst did take one penalty for roughing one a scrum in front of Martin.)

GO DOGS!
