St. Cloud, Minn. -- First-year forward Brigette Miller scored twice, but the College of Saint Benedict hockey team dropped their first game since returning home from Europe today, losing 2-10 to the Concordia Cobbers. With the loss, the Blazers drop to 4-7 and 3-4 in MIAC play. The Cobbers improve to 4-10 and 3-4 in conference play.
 
After opening their season against the top three teams in the MIAC, the Cobbers came out sharp in the first period against the Blazers. Sophomore forward Madison Gendreau got the scoring started just four minutes into the game after she sent a wrist shot towards Blazer goaltender Jenna Traut which struck her in the shoulder pad. The puck then flipped over Traut and into the goal, giving the Cobbers a 1-0 lead they would never relinquish.
 
The Cobbers outshot the Blazers 13-6 en route to taking a 4-0 lead at the first intermission. Kelsey Vandegrift, Emily Goff, Bekah Wright and Gendreau all scored goals for the Cobbers.
 
The Blazers came out firing after the first intermission, as Miller took a pass from sophomore forward Stephanie Kirk and cut the Cobber lead to three. The Cobbers however, scored two more goals in the period and took a 6-1 lead into the second intermission.
 
Miller was again the first to strike in the third period, scoring an unassisted goal to cut the Cobber lead to 6-2.  The Cobbers however, scored four more goals in the period and won the game 10-2.
 
The Cobbers outshot the Blazers 14-7 in the third period and 37-23 overall. Junior goaltender Dory Johnson played most of the game for the Blazers and made a season-high 21 saves.
