COLUMBUS, Ohio -
Annie Bauerfeld
(Fr., Woodbury, Minn.) made sure the Bemidji State University
women’s hockey team would leave Columbus, Ohio, with at least one
goal Saturday night.
She scored the final goal of the game between the Beavers and the Ohio State Buckeyes to salvage a 6-1 loss at OSU Ice Rink. Haley Balcom (Sr., Elk River, Minn.) picked up her second assist of the season on Bauerfeld’s goal, and her 18th career assist.
Hayley
Klassen got OSU (5-3-2, 4-2-2 WCHA) on the board 8:57 into the first
period, and Lisa Chesson scored the eventual game-winning power-play
goal at the 13:15 mark. Morgan Marziali scored another first-period
goal, and Raelyn LaRocque, Chesson and Michele Tonnessen each scored
second-period goals. Christina Mancus, Rachel Davis, Tessa Bonhomme
(2), Shannon Reilly, Erin Keys, Olivia Antognoli, Jenna Kilpatrick,
LaRocque and Klassen all picked up assists in the game.
Jennifer Bauer
(Fr., St. Catharines, Ontario) had a game-high 28 saves in only two
periods in her first collegiate start for Bemidji State. She gave up
six goals and took her first loss (0-1-0). Emily Brookshaw
(Sr., Webster, Wisc.) played the third period in net for BSU, saving
eight shots while not allowing a goal. Liana Bonanno (5-3-2) had 11
saves in net for OSU. Diedre Facklis played the third period for the
Buckeyes, giving up one goal and saving nine shots.
After
being outshot 11-34 in the first two periods, the Beavers outshot OSU
10-8 in the final frame. Bemidji State also had only five penalties to
OSU’s six.
This was the first time
since an Oct. 20-21, 2006, series with No. 4-ranked Minnesota Duluth
that the Beavers have allowed six goals or more in consecutive games.
BSU
(0-7-1, 0-7-1 WCHA) has six goals this season, all coming from
freshmen. The Beavers moved to 11-20-5 all-time against Ohio State, but
are 4-3-2 in the last nine meetings with the Buckeyes.
The
Beavers step out of conference Nov. 9-10 with a two-game series at
Niagara University. Game times are set for 6 p.m. and 1 p.m.,
respectively.
