As a result, the Bears considered Haley Menke’s goal 3 minutes, 22 seconds into the second half especially critical, and a lockdown defense took care of everything else in a 4-0 win that kept UA undefeated at 12-0 overall and 6-0 in the COFHL-West Division.“We were pretty tired, so we came in with the mentality of 0-0 and just finishing this off,” Menke said, alluding to the Bears having played three games in the previous five days.
The Bears, who have outscored their opponents 66-2, got two saves from freshman goalie Marisa Blauser. Usual starter Miriam Silver, a senior who was unavailable Sept. 29, had two saves Sept. 21.The game was delayed for more than an hour after lightning was sighted, but no rain fell. Play resumed for less than 30 minutes in real time before more lightning was seen, prompting the suspension with 5:26 left in the first half.
