Lake Forest Ties Stevens Point, Extends Unbeaten Streak to Team Record 10 Games
Forester sophomore Kim Herring (Dover, N.H./Groton School), who scored three times the day before, netted the first of two Sunday goals on the power play just three minutes and five seconds into the contest. Stevens Point tied the game at the 5:01 mark and the score was 1-1 at the end of the opening period, despite Lake Forest's 17-7 edge in shots on goal. The home team regained the lead just 19 seconds into the second period on junior Melissa Kravich's (Wilmette, Ill./Gustavus Adolphus College) seventh goal of the year. She was assisted by Herring and senior Courtney Bean (Peoria, Ill./Team Illinois). The Pointers tied the score at 2:33 but the Foresters regained the lead exactly seven minutes later on senior Jamie Sauer's (Eagle River, Wis./Northland Pines H.S.) first goal of the season. That power play score was followed just 80 seconds later by Herring's second goal of the game, fifth of the weekend, and team-high 14th of the year. She was assisted by Sauer, who finished the weekend with five points. The visitors closed out the second period scoring on a power play goal at 12:53 and finished with 14 of the frame's 27 shots on goal. Despite out-shooting their guests 16-11 in the third period and 5-2 in overtime, the Foresters were unable to score again. Stevens Point's power play goal at 3:36 in the third period turned out to be the official game-tying goal. It was the final game of the fall semester for the Foresters, who will travel to the University of Massachusetts Boston to play in the Codfish Bowl January 2-3. Lake Forest will take on the hosts at 4:00 p.m. (EST) on Saturday before playing in Sunday's consolation (1:00) or championship (4:00) game. The Foresters will complete their trip at Sacred Heart University on Tuesday, January 5, at 1:00 p.m. (EST). |
