Who to Watch:

So. F Brigette Miller | Off to fast start with one goal and one assist in two games

Fy. G Angel Hillstrom | First-year goalie stopped 34 shots (0.944 save percentage) in career opener versus Marian

Jr. F Jessica Kongelf | Capitalized on penalties with two powerplay goals in Cobbers' opening weekend

About the Cobbers:

Although the Cobbers are 0-2, both losses came by a 5-4 score on the road against No. 11 Stevens Point. One of those losses came in overtime. After finishing third in the MIAC last year, the Cobbers were picked to finish third in the conference this year. They are led by a defense which gave up less than three goals in 13 MIAC games last year.

The Storyline:

How will each team respond to their respective rankings in the MIAC preseason poll? The Blazers were ranked eighth, but a victory over third-ranked Concordia could help set a winning tone for the rest of the year. The Blazers graduated Blazer-record holding goalie Jenna Trout, but the Cobbers graduated three All-MIAC players, including the reigning MIAC MVP. This could be a chance for either team to catch the other off guard while they both shake off rust from the lengthy offseason.
