Women's Hockey Wins Fourth Straight
Bemidji, Minn. - Kelly Kegley (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) continued her hot streak with her second hat trick in three games to lead the Badgers to a 6-2 win over Bemidji State at the John S. Glas Fieldhouse on Saturday.
Kegley scored the first two goals of the game, starting off the scoring with an early goal at 1:56 of the first period. Kegley's wrist shot banged off the far post and into the net. Melanie Schmitt (Sheboygan, Wis.) and Kerry Weiland (Palmer, Alaska) were credited with the assists. Kegley scored her second of the game at 13:57 when she stole the puck from a Beaver defender in the corner, skated it in front of the net and beat BSU goaltender Bre Dedrickson to the far side.
"The player of the game today was Kelly Kegley with the hat trick," coach Julie Sasner said. "She's been coming on strong and scoring important goals too."
Natascha Sherman (Seattle, Wash.) made it 3-0, taking a lead from Liz Jankowski (Maple Grove, Minn.) before snapping a shot off the post and in. Gretchen Anderson (Minneapolis, Minn.) also had a helper on what turned out to be the game-winning goal at 17:34.
Kendra Antony (Yorkton, Sask.) gave the Badgers a 4-0 lead on an unassisted wrap-around at 15:12 of the second, before BSU finally cracked Wisconsin goaltender Jackie MacMillan (Buffalo, Minn.). On the power play, Amy Shepler beat MacMillan from point-blank range with help from Ashley Salberg and Lisa Peters at 19:55.
In the third period, Weiland set up the Badgers lone power-play goal, beating two defenders before feeding Michelle Sikich (Apple Valley, Minn.) for the tap in at 3:50. Kegley finished off her hat trick and the Badgers scoring with a goal 17 seconds later at 4:07. The goal gave her 16 on the season and Wisconsin a 6-1 lead. It was Kegley's eighth goal in the last four games.
Lill Raynard added a late goal for Bemidji State at 17:40 of the third to make the final score 6-2.
MacMillan improved to 8-3-1, increased her win streak to seven games and her unbeaten streak to eight with 31 saves in the contest. Dedrickson fell to 8-9-1 despite making 24 saves. Laura Pogreba made five saves for BSU in relief of Dedrickson in the third.
"We are pleased with the effort and pleased with the results," said Sasner about the weekend sweep. "Jackie MacMillan played another real strong game, especially in the first period. There were some key points where the momentum could have shifted and she held us in early. This Bemidji team is a strong team and can strike quickly."
With the win, the Badgers clinched at least third place in the WCHA. They are currently in third place, three points behind second place Minnesota.
Wisconsin (14-10-2 overall, 11-6-1 WCHA) returns home for a two-game series against surging St. Cloud State (9-13-2, 4-10-2). The Huskies swept MSU, Mankato this weekend, after playing national power Providence to an overtime loss last weekend. The games are slated for 1:05 p.m., at the Dane County Coliseum on Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 5-6.

Subject: We found her cup - Thanx everyone
Thanx all for your interest and concern, but we found the missing pelvic
protector after all. It was in my son's sports drawer.
My babysitter does my big kids laundry while I am at work, and of course
she had never seen a girl's cup before, so of course she assumed it was
Joshua's and put it in his drawer. (If it was his it belonged in his
hockey bag, but that's beside the point) Anyway, Joshua found it
yesterday in his drawer and made his little sister quite happy.
She had her best game of her little career today. She plays only defense
(by choice) and stopped lots of big boys today stone cold -- including two
breakaways by big boys. What is interesting is that Daddy (coach) thought
she was ready to start on offense (she used to score lots of goals in
mini-mites) but she doesn't want to move up. In fact, she started to cry
when Daddy suggested it. For one she loves defense. She is really
fast and can get in anybody's way -- even the boys that are pushing 9 years
old. We thought she was intimidated by the big boys, but what she
finally confessed is that she is "afraid of not scoring." Everyone praises
her skills so highly on D that she is afraid of the criticism if she can't
play at that level on Offense. Hmmmm..... Daddy said, whatever she
wanted to do was fine with him. She'll get her confidence up at some
point. But in the meantime she's coaches 2nd best defender on the team
and she is not even 7 yet.
I am so proud of her on D that it wouldn't matter to us if she never moved
forward. We just know that she has the potential to be a big goal
scorer.
Actually, in reality we are just thrilled she is still playing. Last
season some jerk on our team told her repeatedly that "Girls didn't belong
playing hockey", and that they would be better if she wasn't on the
team. She was very upset by that and almost quit. Her brother got in
the kid's face (I had to smile) and Daddy/coach was able to "trade" the
sexist jerk between seasons.
Thanx again for your concern....

GOPHERS RALLY FOR 5-4 WIN OVER NEW HAMPSHIRE
Minnesota trailed by two goals less than six minutes into the game but a 31
save effort by Crystal Nicholas kept the Gophers in the game, and
third-period goals by Laura Slominski and Nadine Muzerall enabled them to
claim a 5-4 victory and a sweep of their two-game series against New
Hampshire.
Annie Fahlenbock and Sabrina Monsen scored 46 seconds apart early in the
first period but Minnesota bounced back with goals from Tracy Engstrom and
Ronda Curtin to tie the score at 2-2.
Monsen and Tina Carrabba, who scored at 19:59 of the second period,
sandwhiched goals around another Curtin marker as the Wildcats went into the
second intermission with a 4-3 lead.
"It was pretty quiet in there," Muzerall said of the Gopher lockerroom
between periods two and three. "We just said 'Hey, we were down two goals
before. We've got 20 minutes left to get it back."
Slominski got the equalizer at 8:35 of the final period and then Muzerall
extended her goal-scoring streak to 10 games with her 31st goal of the
season, a power-play goal which gives her 21 goals during her streak.
For the fourth consecutive game, Minnesota scored three power-play goal. The
Gophers have done that five times in their last six games and are 16-for-33
on the power play in those six games.
While New Hampshire was outshooting Minnesota 31-12 through two periods,
Nicholas stopped 27 shots to keep the Gophers close. Minnesota then outshot
the Wildcats 14-4 in the final 20 minutes.
The sixth-ranked Gophers are now 20-5-0 on the season while third-ranked New
Hampshire falls to 16-6-0. Minnesota returns to WCHA-Women's League play
next weekend, hosting Ohio State on Friday and Saturday in a pair of 7:05
p.m. games.

Playing offence is not necessarily "moving up." Whether a kid plays offence
or defence is not a matter of confidence; it is a matter of choice, skills,
and temperment. Bobby Orr was one of the greatest defencemen, and his
scoring power was incredible. Just remember, offence sells tickets, but
defence wins championships.

PS You should never wash hockey equipment. Not only does it get lost, you
take the chance of washing out the magic.

If you don't wash the equipment it will start to grow mold and you will have
to replace it sooner. Besides the "magic" for most players is in a "lucky"
shirt, a pair of socks, etc. or in game/ practice traditions or superstitions.

Subject: advice needed.
Hi. new screen name. this is LarSutter.
I have mentioned before that I play roller hockey, not ice, with mostly
college age guys. They are really nice to this old lady and don't mind that I
am not as fast/strong/good etc. as them. Yesterday I was the only woman
playing at drop-in, and lots of the "Big Boys" showed up. I was so frustrated
because even though I was often able to get the puck away from them, their
arm strength is so much more than mine they just get the puck right back!!!!!
It was happening over and over yesterday and I was NOT happy about it.
I know the long range answer if to work on strength training, not that I
will ever be able to match their youthful and testosterone enhanced muscle
strength. But I was wondering if someone had any kind of advice on how to
deal with this. Should I concentrate on holding the stick more tightly?
hitting the puck further away when I do get it? It was usually when doing
defense, trying to get the puck from a guy headed towards our net.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. Also advice on strength building would
be welcome!
Laura

I was kinda having the same problem in my game tonight. I'd get the puck away
from the other team in the neutral zone, but they'd push me out of the way or
lift my stick up and have the puck back in 2 seconds headed into their zone.
It kinda gets frusterating after 5 times within a period. So I thought that
maybe if, one I could just push them to get the puck, or two keep more
pressure on my stick so that they can't lift it as easily. I never really got
to try either of those methods later in the game though.
The strength factor is the main reason I don't really like playing with
guys. Well another main thing I don't like is their need to take huge
slapshots that never seem to be heading towards the net, but have this
magnetic attraction to your foot. (Tonight was actually the first time I got
hit in the foot in ice hockey, and well I was lucky to make it back to the
bench on my feet. In roller hockey, my foot would only be numb for 5 seconds
or so). Although I had a goal before that, (breaking a 20 game goal scoring
slump) so it wasn't that bad of a game, we still lost 4-3 though.
After my game last week, the ref skated up and asked to see my skates,
and told me I should tighten the instep, because I'd skate a whole lot
better. So I tried it, and I actually could do crossovers a lot better and
stop somewhat better. Another person told me I should cut 1/4 inch off my
stick, and I'd be able to control the puck a lot easier. Would 1/4 inch
actually make a difference?
