Ashley Nixon Stops 52 of 55, Beats UMD 4-3

I was going to do a long post about referees Doocy and Storey.. but it would just sound like every other one I've read (or posted myself) so I'll just say that Ashley Nixon stood on her head stopping 52 of 55 shots, many from in close.

UMD was up 3-1 and blew the lead in the second period.

Elin Holmlov had 2 goals for UMD, and Megan McCarthy answered with 2 of her own for SCSU.

Haley Irwin took a stupid (and lazy) tripping penalty at the end of her shift at 17:08 of the third period to pretty much kill any momentum UMD had built after having 2 straight powerplays that peppered Nixon with shots.

Meaghan Pezon didn't play for SCSU so her injury Friday night may be a bad one, but this being the Duluth area, there wasn't any sort of report that I've seen.
