The College of Saint Benedict (5-17-3 overall, 3-11-3 MIAC) hosted the Gustavus Gusties (21-2-2 overall, 16-1-1 MIAC) today at the MAC. Despite a Blazer loss, all of the seniors were honored as it was their last game in a Blazer uniform.
Gustavus put the first points on the board just six minutes into the opening period and looked to carry the momentum into the second period. However, senior captain
Kerri Graske swiped the momentum back to their side with a goal in the last minute of the first to tie things up. She was assisted by
Amie Ernst and
Catherine Pollock.
The Gusties went on to score six more goals in the game to go up 7-1 and seal their victory over the Blazers. Despite this deficit, the Blazer's “never die” attitude didn't fail them as
Alli O'Brien slapped a shot top shelf for a late third period goal. This ended the game in a 7-2 Blazer loss.
