LAST NIGHT’S GAME RECAP MOORHEAD, Minn. (2/09/07) The thermometer outside read a crisp 9 degrees, but the temperature inside the Moorhead Youth Hockey Rink on Friday was a balmy 95 degrees as Concordia heated up the cold February night by blanking perennial league power St. Thomas 40.
The shutout win is the second straight for the Cobbers and is also the second time in the past three games against the Tommies they have recorded a shutout. More importantly, the victory keeps Concordia in the thick of the MIAC playoff hunt. CC is now 571 in league play and 692 overall. The Tommies fall for the fourth time in the past five games. It is also the third time in the past five games they have been shutout. They entered the game in second place in the MIAC and will hold steady as they fall to 940 in the conference and 1190 overall.
Four different Cobbers scored in the game, but in the end, it was the outstanding play of Cobber goalie Maddie Haroldson that proved to be the difference maker. Haroldson turned aside all 31 shots to post her second straight shutout. She was in goal for the Cobbers' 20 win over Bethel last Saturday.
The game started in dramatic fashion for Concordia. They were able to get the jump on the Tommies in the first minute of play when Erin Johnson slammed home her third goal of the season just :39 seconds into the contest.
St. Thomas was still reeling when the Cobbers struck for the second goal of the game. CC senior Hannah Impola was allowed to skate out of the right corner unattended and fire a shot past Tommie goalie Katie Jetland who had dropped to her knees to make the save. The score at 8:30 kept the Cobbers on edge for the entire first period as they outshot UST 113 in the opening frame. St. Thomas had more jump in their skates in the second period. Both teams were able to get quality shots on goals but it was Concordia that came away with the only goal of the period. Mandi Samuelson scored from close range at 14:22 on the power play to give the Cobbers a surprising 30 lead.
That would score would hold up until the final three minutes of the third period. St. Thomas pulled Jetland with just under five minutes to give themselves a 6on4 situation after Cobber forward Alyssa Dahl was whistled for a hooking penalty. The Tommies were unable to get the puck past Haroldson in the twominute, twoman advantage and then Dahl stepped out of the penalty box, the puck found its way right to her stick and she happily slid it into the empty net.
The only thing left to determine was whether Haroldson would hold onto the shutout. She gave the emphatic answer in the final seconds of play when she stoned Kara Ledel who was wide open just in front of the crease.
The Tommies had a commanding 195 edge in shots in goal in the final period as CC tried to protect their lead. For the game, UST held a 3126 advantage in shots on goal. Concordia took five penalties in the game and went 1for3 on the power play. The Cobber penalty kill once again lived up to its top two billing in the conference. St. Thomas went scoreless in their four power play attempts.

COBBER LAST GAME RECAP Bethel 0 at Concordia 2 – Saturday, Feb. 3 The saying goes, "better late than never," and that's what happened for Concordia in their 20 victory over Bethel on Saturday. The Cobbers were finally able to beat Royal goaltender Beth Spurrier after Spurrier held Concordia scoreless for three straight games and over 188 minutes of play. A pair of Cobber players helped push the team over the edge and back into the win column. Senior forward Brandie Dunn scored both CC goals and freshman goalie Maddie Haroldson made 29 saves to earn her first collegiate shutout.
The end to Spurrier's shutout streak came without a spectacular play or outstanding individual effort. In fact, it came off the stick of Dunn, who had not scored a goal all season. The straw that finally broke the camel's back came at 8:02 of the first period while the Cobbers were on the power play. It was a routine shot from the point that found its way onto Dunn's stick and caught Spurrier out of position. Dunn was able to put the puck into the net before Spurrier could recover.
Having finally found a way past the Bethel netminder, Concordia added to their lead 10 minutes later when Dunn notched her second goal of the game, and the season, at the 18:35 mark on an assist from Ceara Bergsrud.
Sparked by the twogoal outburst in the opening period, the Concordia defense tightened up and refused to allow the Royals any quality chances around the Cobber goal. The teams then skated scoreless for the final 40 minutes to give CC their fourth league win.
In the end, Concordia held a decided advantage in shots on goal, outshooting the Royals 4029. CC went 1for5 on the power play, while Bethel was held scoreless in their five attempts.
TOMMIE LAST GAME RECAP UWRiver Falls 4 at St. Thomas 1 – Wednesday, Feb. 7 (Courtesy of St. Thomas SID) Amber Lindner stopped 20 of 21 shots in goal and Abby Sunderman had a goal and an assist to lead visiting UWRiver Falls to a 41 victory over St. Thomas in nonconference women's hockey play Wednesday night in Mendota Heights.

Freshman Jill Kobow scored with 4:23 to play for UST to avert a shutout. Freshman Lauren Bradel had 23 saves in goal.
St. Thomas 1 at Gustavus 0 – Saturday, Feb. 3 Marie Omann's shorthanded goal seven seconds into period two stood up as the game winner as the visiting Tommies stunned No. 2ranked Gustavus 10 in Saturday's MIAC women's hockey game in St. Peter.
The Toms (117 overall, 93 MIAC) avenged Friday's 80 home loss to the Gusties (172, 111). UST was outshot 3918, but freshman goalie Lauren Bradel stopped 39 shots in the shutout win.
Breana Scavo had 17 saves for the Gusties.
Omann, a freshman from Rocori, now has two collegiate points both short handed goals. She had a shorthanded tally to open the scoring in a 32 win over Bethel in December.
