This was going on this morning at the hockey tournament. I work the defensive door to let the players on and off the ice. I also worked the door of the dressing room.
Michigan B School, or, Christine and Friends Meet the Midwest.
Michigan's goaltender had more than a week's experience under her belt
this time! After collecting our spiffy new baseball caps and having Al
hold off the men's team that wanted the dressing room back, MIT skated out
for a two-minute puckless warmup. The first period was a little slow, as
most of us tried to shake the cobwebs out of our brains (who the heck *is*
out next on D?) Our game started to come together a few minutes in, as we
learned not to give the puck to #33 in blue! Christine, assisted by Katie
F, opened up the scoring about six or seven minutes in to make it 1-0 MIT,
then grabbed a rebound two minutes later and put it into the empty side of
the net to put us up 2-0 after the first period. The second period saw
some good pressure by MIT, with several good scoring chances, but we were
unable to convert until Christine (assisted by Katie F and Alicia) put the
puck back in the net for a hat trick! Near the end of the period,
Christine was called for tripping and the MIT penalty kill unit went to
work. If the Michigan goalie was hoping for a break, she didn't get one--
Michelle won the faceoff in our zone to Elaine, who skated it up, and
between the two of them they got off about eight shots in one shift.
After successfully killing the penalty, MIT showed off its breakout, with
Vivian passing up to Patty, who scored a pretty wrister breakaway goal to
put us up 4-0 after the second. The third period was continued
excitement, but sometimes felt like a 5-on-3 in their zone, as the
wide-open defensemen didn't see a lot of rubber. Katie F capped off the
scoring (assisted by Christine, of course!) with a few minutes remaining
to make it 5-0, and Marita made a very nice save on a breakaway shot with
just 35 seconds left to preserve her shutout.
Final score: MIT 5, Michigan 0.
Next up is Yale--come get some! ;)
