Nicole Grossmann notched her
first career hat trick and finished with five points as the sixth-ranked
UW-Stevens Point women's hockey team rolled past St. Olaf 7-1 on Saturday in
Northfield, Minn.
Grossmann, who also had three
penalties, scored the first of the team's two shorthanded goals with 57
seconds left in the first period to put the Pointers ahead 1-0. Tracy Butler
also scored shorthanded in the second period, marking just the second time
the Pointers have ever scored twice shorthanded in the same game, having
also done so last year against UW-Eau Claire.

on a goal by Janae Fabini 4:52 into the second period, UW-Stevens Point
quickly answered just 1:28 later on a goal from Jessie Suter that Grossmann
and Kellye Nelson assisted.
Buter scored her shorthanded
goal unassisted at the 13:00 mark and Grossmann followed with an unassisted
tally at 14:29 of the period. Just 52 seconds later, Madison Darud scored to
put the Pointers ahead 5-1.
Michelle Sosnowski and
Grossmann scored third period goals as UW-Stevens Point outshot the Oles
19-1 in the final period and 39-16 for the game. Amy Statz made 15 saves
with 12 coming in the second period, for the victory. The Pointers are now
8-0 all-time against St. Olaf. |
