Third-Place Game
On Friday, four first-period goals by the Pointers put Lake Forest in an early hole. Stevens Point scored three more times in the second and held on for the shutout. After a scoreless first period on Saturday, Forester senior captain
Robyn Slater (Granite City, IL/ Granite City
Senior) scored at the 3:22 mark of the second, the first of five Forester
goals in the period. After Jodi Faye scored Superior's only goal of the
game at 5:44, freshman Lil Caligiuri (Wheaton,
IL/Culver Academy), who had assisted on Slater's goal, scored one of her
own at 11:49. Slater, who assisted on Caligiuri's goal, scored again just
31 seconds later and at the 16:37 mark with her third of the game, 13th
of the season, and 50th of her career. Caligiuri and fellow freshman Emily
Blegen (Elk River, MN/Fridley) recorded assists on both goals. Mel
Guillermo (North Las Vegas, NV/Culver Academy), another freshman, closed
out the period's scoring at the 18:47 mark. Freshman Nicki
Paquette (Moncton, NB/New Hampton School) and sophomore Lindsey
Wild (Inver Grove Heights, MN/Rosemount) were each credited with an
assist on Guillermo's fifth goal of the season.
Junior Theresa Taylor (Spartanburg, SC/National Sports Academy) tallied 25 saves and finished her third season in goal with a 12-9-3 record, a 2.75 goals against average, and a .906 save percentage. Slater's hat trick in her final game was the fifth of her career. She'll graduate as the school record-holder with 50 goals, 28 assists, and 78 points. Caligiuri's five points broke the previous school record of four achieved by Slater (twice) and Wild last season. Caligiuri also finished the year with 15 assists, tying the school record set by Wild in 2001-02. With three helpers each in the game, Caligiuri and Blegen, who led the 2002-03 squad with 27 points, tied yet another school record set by Slater in 2001-02 and matched by Wild last year.
