UMD beats Ohio State 5-3

I didn't get a chance to listen to the game, but 4 third period goals got UMD the win. I'm sure Coach Miller's not happy with only 23 shots on goal. The UMD powerplay has scored in 3 straight games now I believe, which normally isn't newsworthy except that lately, they have been terrible on it.

Heidi Pelttari did indeed play, but was a -2 for her time on the ice. Coming into the season THIS late (and off injuries) is going to be tough for her to catch up, even as an international star.

The Lanzl Koizumi Marin line that saw a little time together last year was the first line tonight, while Karine Demeule and Saara Tuominen (with Blais) combined for the physical line tonigh. That has to be an interesting contrast, Demeule and Tuominen aren't nearly as fast as Blais in open ice.
