(ST. NORBERT COMMUNICATIONS) DE PERE – St. Norbert College women’s hockey played its first game in the new Donald and Patricia Schneider Family Arena but came up shy in a 1-0 non-conference loss to UW-Eau Claire.
Both teams battled in a tightly contested game, with neither team finding the net in the first 34 minutes. The 14th-ranked Blugolds then found the pay window when Jana Lesch’s shot from the goal line found the cage at the 14:37 mark of the second period.
St. Norbert would get a power play that bridged the second and third periods, but did not get a shot. The Green Knights would get a full two minutes of extra attacker time at the end of the game but could not get the equalizer.
Eau Claire outshot St. Norbert 25-17, including 15-8 in the third period. Tanith Plachetka made 24 saves in the tough loss in goal for St. Norbert, while Addison Moudry made 17 stops to get the shutout for Eau Claire.
Both teams were 0-for-1 on the power play.b
