UMD Finishes the sweep, 8-0 @ SCSU

UMD beat St. Cloud 8-0 in a game that sounded on the radio like it finished kinda physically emotional, with penalties abound for both teams. Sarah Murray got her first career goal, in this her second season. Iya Gavrilova scored HER first goal of what should be MANY...and Laura Fridfinnson scored her second goal and added an assist. Haley Irwin also scored HER first goal, along with taking 3 more penalties. The game was a big hard to follow on the radio, dunno if it was the station or the weather but the game seemed to cut in and out a little for me, but it did go how I expected the weekend to. UMD won a tough 3-0 game yesterday and a much more lopsided score in the second game of the series.

UMD ended up with 17 penalties for 34 minutes, which once again means they need to stay OUT of the penalty box. Somehow in their 9 times shorthanded they didn't give up a goal.. UMD **DID** score on the powerplay, but that still only makes them 1 of 12 on the weekend.

SCSU started a freshman goaltender Ashley Nixon, for her first career game but teams won't normally make excuses like that for a loss, since she had to see ice time anyway so why not now?.

The game's box score is available on collegehockeystats.net
and IF I remember I'll try and link to that box score for each game. Also, as with Friday's game, I'll post the News Tribune story/link the day after the game, when they have the game story online. (If there's no story I'll use the UmdBulldogs.com story)
