UW-Eau Claire
Eau Claire's Jackie Peplinski scored the only goal of the first with 6:22 left to play in the period. In the second frame, Lake Forest junior forward Robyn Slater (Granite City, IL) tied the score just 2:52 into the period. The goal, which was assisted by freshman forward Nichole Greco (Franklin Park, IL), gave Slater 16 for the year, one more than her school record-setting season of 2000-01. With the Foresters on the power play at the 8:30 mark, freshman Robyn Shea (St. John's, Newfoundland) scored what turned out to be the game winner and final goal of the contest, her fifth of the season. Assisting on the score was sophomore forward Lydia Groskin (Stowe, VT). Sophomore goaltender Theresa Taylor (Spartanburg, SC) stopped 27 of 28 shots on goal in the game, including nine in the final period with the Foresters ahead by just one goal. Taylor leads the NCHA with 240 saves in eight conference games this season. Next weekend (January 18-19th), the Foresters (5-8-1, 1-7-0 NCHA) will travel to UW-Stevens Point to take on the nation's sixth-ranked team. The puck will drop at 7:30 Friday night and Saturday afternoon's contest will begin at 2:00.
