WENTZVILLE, Mo. - Junior McKenna Brand and freshman Matti Hartman each recorded a goal and an assist to lead the Northeastern women's hockey team (2-2-0) to a weekend sweep of Lindenwood (0-4-0) with a 4-1 victory on Saturday night at the Lindenwood Ice Arena.
Senior Heather Mottau and sophomore Kasidy Anderson also scored for the Huskies, while sophomore netminder Brittany Bugalski turned in a strong performance with 27 saves.
Junior Denisa Krizova earned the primary assist on Mottau's eventual game-winner to become the 25th player in program history to accumulate 100 career points.
Goal Recaps
- Northeastern grabbed the lead at 3:04 of the first period when freshman Codie Cross forced a turnover in the neutral zone, and sent the puck up the left-wing boards. After taking a deflection off the stick of junior Halle Silva, the disc slid onto the stick of Hartman, who went forehand to backhand for her second goal in as many games.
- The Huskies doubled the advantage at 13:53 of the opening period on a beautiful passing play. Brand gathered the puck with speed on the right wing and sent a cross-ice pass to a streaking Krizova along the left boards. The Czech Republic native then lifted a saucer pass into the slot for a cutting Mottau, who shifted the puck past the Lindenwood goaltender to make it 2-0.
- Lindenwood scored its first goal of the weekend at the 7:49 mark of the second period when Kirsten Martin's shot found its way through traffic from the top of the zone on a power play.
- NU restored its two-goal cushion at 14:05 of the second stanza. After sustained pressure in the LU zone, Matti Hartman found classmate Paige Capistran cutting to the net between the circles. Capistran collected the feed and quickly fired a shot on goal that was stopped, but Anderson was able to dig out the loose puck and stash it home at the right of the cage to make it 3-1.
- The Huskies bumped the scoreline to 4-1 at 17:29 of the frame when senior Melissa Haganey held the puck in along the right-wing boards and chipped the puck back into the low slot. Brand raced forward to meet the pass, before sniping a shot top-shelf to push the scoreline to 4-1.
