ADRIAN, Mich. – The Adrian College NCAA women's hockey team wrapped up its series with Concordia University Wisconsin on Saturday afternoon. After earning a 2-2 tie in Friday's opener, the Bulldogs bounced back with a 4-1 victory to claim all three available points in the NCHA standings.
Concordia Wisconsin struck first, taking a 1-0 lead in the opening period. The Bulldogs responded with a pair of power-play goals from Kaylee Simon, who found the back of the net twice in a span of just 25 seconds to give Adrian a 2-1 lead. In the second period, Bella Viskovicz scored her first collegiate goal to extend the Bulldogs' advantage to 3-1. Four minutes later, Paige Pomerleau added another power-play goal, Adrian's third of the game, to push the lead to 4-1. Both teams were held scoreless in the third period as the Bulldogs secured the victory.
Adrian finished the afternoon 3-for-3 on the power play and is now 4-for-6 with the extra skater to begin the season. Hunter Reardon and Audrey Baretto each recorded two assists, while Viskovicz added an assist to finish with a two-point performance. Kiera Stack turned aside 21 shots in goal for the Bulldogs.
