On Friday, junior goaltender Theresa
Taylor (Spartanburg, SC/National Sports Academy) recorded her second
career shutout by stopping all 27 shots on goal from Eau Claire, including
12 in the third.
Saturday's game was a different story, as Eau Claire scored first on a goal by Amanda Schultz at 3:26 in the first period. The Foresters tied the score on Slater's eighth goal of the year at 13:17. In the second period, Blegen connected for the 12th time this season to give Lake Forest the lead at 4:33. Sophomore Lindsey Wild (Inver Grove Heights, MN/Rosemount) scored for the third time in 2002-03 at 13:10 but the Blugolds' Kristi Hawkinson cut the lead to 3-2 with 3:43 to play in the period. Sophomore Nichole Greco (Franklin Park, IL/Chicago Young Americans) helped the visitors regain the two-goal advantage with her third of the year at the 8:30 of the third. However, Hawkinson scored again with 1:20 left and, while the Blugolds were on the power play, they also pulled goalie Tara Berlute and Connie Cameron tied the game with just 11 seconds to play. Both Taylor and Berlute stopped a pair of shots on goal in the five-minute overtime period. The Foresters will play their next five games at home, beginning with next weekend's (January 17-18) NCHA series against UW-Stevens Point (12-3-1, 6-2-0 NCHA). The teams will face off Friday night at 7:30 and Saturday afternoon at 2:00. Saturday's
