These two games have been highlight show of why Eve Gascon might be the best women's hockey goalie we've seen. Some absolutely unreal stops from the UMD goalie

It's not my department, but am I allowed to ask where the hell the students were this weekend? Easily the worst student turnout I've seen (for a weekend where school is in session) since I've been doing games.

Bechen hits the post just after the Augustana penalty expires.

UMD still down 2-0 to the Vikings after a second PP tonight.

10:51 to go.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

Fischer just missed wide on a Grade A+++ rebound chance in front.

They don't get any better than that.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

Bulldogs able to kill off the rest of the Augustana PP to start the third.

UMD down 2-0.

Bulldogs almost get on the board with a scoring chance by Plante bros and Shaugabay early in the third ... but just almost.

2-0 Augustana over UMD, which got caught in a 3v1 rush after Zam Plante went in for a 5x3 SH attack along with Hanson.

29.6 sec left in the second.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

UMD going down two men now after Kovich takes a cross checking penalty on a sustained PK forecheck.

36 sec 5v3 for Augie, which leads UMD 1-0 with 58 sec left in the second.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

Nada, and now UMD is going on the PK after a high stick by Truman.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

With 4:38 left in the second period, UMD finally gets its first PP as Augie is called for tripping.

1-0 Vikings.

UMD close to having too many on the ice during PK but Pierce able to hop back on the bench quick.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

Bulldogs take their third penalty of the night midway through the second as Mr. Dreger makes a dramatic slashing call on Cleveland.

UMD down 1-0 and still waiting for its first PP of the night.

Sandelin not pleased with that call.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

Really good shift by UMD's fourth line seven minutes into the second period, puts some pressure on the Augie net.

1-0 AUG with 12:14 to go in the second period.

SOG 12-8 UMD

Bulldogs trail for the first time in this young season.

Augustana captain Hunter Bischoff of Grand Rapids makes a great move atop the UMD crease to beat Adam Gajan.

1-0 Augie with 8:56 to go in the first.

Three goals UMD allowed in its first three games all came in the final 10 minutes.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

Interesting watching Zam and Max Plante on the penalty kill together. Seems like a shorty or two waiting to happen.

Zam goes hard on the forecheck.

3 saves on that PK by Gajan as UMD gets the kill.

Matt Wellens @mattwellens.bsky.social · 3d

With 13:16 left in the first, Adam Gajan finally has to make a save.

Gaffney then takes a holding penalty, so more work coming.
