UMD Women Beat North Dakota Easy, 8-1

After a 1-0 first period, UMD took it to the Sioux in the second and third periods to win 8-1. Jessica Hawkins got her first goal of the season, with Erin Olson receiving her first point (an assist) on Hawkins goal.

Elin Holmlov scored twice, Haley Irwin picked up four assists, and Iya Gavrilova continued her torrid scoring pace with one goal and two assists.

UMD came out a little slow in the first period, but whatever was said during the first intermission was perfect and the team picked up their play from the opening faceoff of the second period.

With Erin Olson getting an assist on the Jessica Hawkins goal, Libby Guzzo remains the only skater (non-goalie) to get at least an assist.
