Good for her! Does anyone know more about her story and what got her to Penn State? Was she recruited anywhere else?

Other than Penn State being the regular season champ, I have no idea how the rest of the CHA shakes out, or if this final weekend has any bearing for any team. Last I heard, the CHA is going to call the final standings according to win percentage rather than points. I can't look at current win percentages and figure out if this weekend matters to anyone, or if the final standings can change from where they are right now. Can Robert Morris and Mercyhurst swap places with wins this weekend? I don't think Syracuse is close enough to bump Mercyhurst with a good weekend, so maybe the only real battling teams are Robert Morris and Mercyhurst fighting for position in the CHA tournament. It's the final regular season weekend in the CHA - no wonder things aren't settled yet.

From what I see The standings are set. Even if Mercyhurst sweeps they won't have enough victories in the win column to tie RMU. Though they would be tied in the Loss column.
A little birdie told me the girls are highly motivated to make a statement this weekendI guess there has been some smack on snapchat. So we shall see.

After one period it's 3-0 Penn State over Mercyhurst, on two goals from Kiara Zanon and one from Amy Dobson. Penn State leads the shots on goal 11-8. Mercyhurst took two penalties and Penn State took one. Mercyhurst came out blazing fast, and looked more like Penn State than Penn State did, but Penn State took advantage of some choppy play to score some goals. I've been wanting to say this all season: Penn State defender Mallory Uihlein is sooooooo slow to the puck it's scary. When anyone else would step up and get the puck, she sits back and waits for it, and it never works. There, I said it.

After two it's Penn State up 4-2 on a goal from Alyssa Machado, and two goals from Mercyhurst's Summer Rae Dobson. Penn State leads the shots on goal 21-18. Mercyhurst had a little quicker step than Penn State in that period, especially the second half. Josie Bothun didn't have a chance on the second goal, as it was a big scrum in front of the net on a penalty kill. Penn State didn't look bad - Mercyhurst just looked more determined in that period, and you know they're coming out for the third period ready for more.

Penn State takes this one 5-2 on a third period goal from Olivia Wallin. Penn State led the shots on goal 29-23, and Mercyhurst took five penalties and Penn State took three. It's a good thing Penn State forwards know how to make things happen, because this defense scares me when they have the puck in their own zone. Way too many soft short passes and just confusing decisions with the puck, trying to be fancy rather than at least clearing the zone if a breakout pass isn't available. Whew...back at it tomorrow at 2:00.
