STEVENS POINT, Wis. - A late
Ali Biagini (Stillwater, MN/Stillwater) goal wasn't enough to spark a comeback for the ninth-ranked UW-Stevens Point women's hockey team as they fell 2-1 to Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) foe UW-Superior on Friday night at Ice Hawks Arena.
Box ScoreÂ
UW-Stevens Point more than doubled up UW-Superior in shots by a 38-16 margin but managed just one goal late in the third period, while the two goals proved enough for the Yellowjackets. The Yellowjackets improve to 4-3-2 (1-1-1 WIAC) with the win, while the Pointers drop to 5-2-0 (1-2-0 WIAC) with the loss.
Â
Leah Elledge and Hailey Adaire scored less than three minutes apart midway through the second period to give the Yellowjackets a 2-0 lead. After two periods of play, Yellowjackets' goalie Natasha Singer faced 30 shots but kept the Pointers off the scoreboard.
Â
Biagini got the Pointers on the board with 3:55 remaining in the third period with her fourth goal of the season off an assist by
Betsy Anderson (Farmington, MN/Farmington). The Pointers were unable to score again with the extra attacker in the last minute of regulation as they tried to tie the game up and force overtime.
Â
The Pointers look to get back to their winning ways as they finish up the two-game series with UW-Superior tomorrow Nov. 21 at Ice Haws Arena. The puck is set to drop at 2:30 p.m.
