EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire women's hockey team scored five unanswered goals to storm past Concordia-Moorhead 5-1 on Saturday at Hobbs Ice Arena. The Blugolds fell behind in the first period, but seized control from there.
HOW IT HAPPENED
- The ninth-ranked Blugolds (11-5-0) scored four times in the second period, with three of those tallies coming on power plays. It erased a first-period deficit and earned a series split with the Cobbers (2-10-0).
- Five different players scored for UW-Eau Claire. Quinn Hartmetz (Sr. - Phoenixville, Pa./Gilmour Academy) led the way with a goal and two assists.
- Madison Krumholz (So. - Burnsville, Minn.) scored the opener for the Blugolds early in the second period. The goal came off a power play, assisted by Hartmetz.
- Hartmetz logged the game-winning goal three and a half minutes later, cashing in on the power play off assists from Krumholz and Maddie Hulter (So. - Fergus Falls, Minn.).
- Ellie Andersen (Sr. - Fergus Falls, Minn.) made it a 3-1 lead with another power play goal less than 30 seconds after Hartmetz's strike. Hartmetz had the assist.
- Kenzie Keller (So. - Mankato, Minn./Mankato East) scored the fourth goal for UW-Eau Claire with just under six minutes left in the second period. Jana Lesch (Fr. - Bloomington, Minn./Bloomington Jefferson) assisted.
