Thinking this year might be an improvement for the Mavericks. We attended the games on Friday and Saturday, and the win against Mercyhurst was legit. The Mavs started slow, but played 2 solid periods of hockey after that. The game on Saturday was tougher. The girls seemed ragged at the start and Mercyhurst took advantage. They were the stronger team for the first and second periods, but Mankato played really well in the third. They put in 2 quick goals but couldn't take advantage of some power play opportunities. Penalties were a problem in both games for the Mavs. They will have to stay out of the box if they want to make their season a success.

Originally posted by WiscDC View PostI can't recall any situations where something mistaken for a goal was called off. The closest thing was a shot that went through Rigsby's legs and just wide of the net.AF 99

Originally posted by 96IllinoisDad View PostA couple pucks did get behind Rigsby, but in the eyes of the refs were covered and/or didn't cross the line before the whistle. In each case, there didn't seem to be much controversey. For instance, in one instance on what appeared to be a very close call from my angle, the outside ref asked the ref by the net if he wanted to go to the video and the ref shook his head no. He was clearly in excellent position to make the call and was confident that he made the right one.
