WACHA Sweeps Rival Miami on the Road

The Women's ACHA D1 team took on their fierce rival, the Miami University, this weekend in a two game road series.

The RedHawks would strike first with the only goal of the first period at the 7:53 mark of the first period. The RedHawks would go up 2-0 on the visiting Bulldogs at the 3:22 mark of the second period. Leah Williams would cut the Miami lead in half with 1:59 remaining in the second frame off of an assist from Olivia Ziemba. At the end of two, the Bulldogs would trail 1-2.

Freya Holferty's first goal as a Bulldog would tie things up at 2 a piece at the 9:39 mark of the third period. Neither team would break the tie in the third period and the two teams would take things to overtime for the second matchup in a row.

Like the last matchup between the two teams, the Bulldogs would take the W with an overtime win. Katrina Robinson would net the game winner only thirty seconds into the overtime period. Huntyr Bosher and Kyleen Wilson would assist on the game winning goal while Dana Columbo would pick up the win between the pipes.

Saturday evening's game would have all the action happen in the first twenty minutes of play. The RedHawks would grab the first lead of the game at the 14:32 mark of the first period. Erika McDonald would tie things up for the Bulldogs at the 3 minutes later with an assist from Madeline Arnold. Brittany Levassuer would net what would end up being the game winning goal with only 56 seconds left in the first period. Taylor Murcek would grab the lone assist.

The Bulldogs would thwart the RedHawks' attempts to tie the game through the next 40 minutes of play and skate by with a 2-1 regulation victory. Dana Columbo would once again pick up the win in net for the Bulldogs.

WACHA heads to Grand Rapids, Michigan this Saturday night for a matchup against the Davenport University Panthers. They return to home ice on November 16th for their first of two games against McKendree University.
