Rams Go 1-1-1 on Weekend Trip to Michigan
Date: Nov 2, 2021
The Rams spent this past weekend back in Michigan for a 2 game set against the #2 ranked Adrian Bulldogs before playing Concordia to finish the weekend. After a first period in which the Bulldogs took a 2-0 lead, the Rams rebounded early in the second with a goal of their own. Senior Emma Hill would score on a breakaway in the first minute of the period to cut the lead in half. Maleah Gillette assisted on the tally. Even though Adrian would score twice more to end the game with a 4-1 score, the final 40 minutes of the game was back and forth. Janelle Kelleher played great in net making 60 saves, 25 of which came in the first period.
Saturday would see the game start similarly to how Friday ended, with an evenly played first period. Adrian would add two goals early in the second period before URI responded with some great chances at the other end. Adrian's goalie made 3 saves on breakaways and the second period would end with the same 2-0 score. The Bulldogs added 2 goals late in the 3rd period to bring the final score to 4-0. Kelleher played great again making 44 saves.
Sunday would see the Rams offense come to life, scoring 7 goals in a commanding 7-2 victory. The line of Audrey Rowen, Carissa Rego, and Emma Hill would combine for 13 points on the night. Rego would score 3 goals on the night for her first collegiate hat trick. Rowen would also tally a goal in the 3rd period to go along with her 4 assists. Hill would finish the night with 1 goal and 3 assists, as well. Freshman Serena Batacchi would add a power play goal in the second period and also had an assist. Junior Abigail Arguin added her 3rd goal of the season in the first period. Other players adding assists on the night were Maleah Gillette (2), Sara Abrahamson, and Lindsey Brady.
