After two hard fought games against Top 10 opponents, Memorial jumped back into the BRC and rolled over Superior 10-0 this week. The weekend UW Eau Claire Classic had the Abes fine tuned and it showed as the Abes scored early and often. 3 Goals in the first three minutes and this one was over early. Another spurt and it was 5-0 at the 14 minute mark. Memorial cooled off a bit but finished with two more goals for a 7-0 halftime score.
Another three goals in the second half and this one ended early. This is just what happens occasionally in the BRC when a top ranked team in the state takes on one of the developing teams in then BRC. Superior just caught Memorial at the wrong time. They played really well over the weekend and that carried into the game against Superior. As we discussed against Menomonie, get your goals, no sloppy habits and get out. A chance for players to heal, rest up and more playing time for a deep and talented team. All good. Move on to Chippewa Falls tonight. Chippewa comes into the game off two wins, has three conference wins this year and recently tied Hudson. Don’t sleep on Chippewa Falls is the motto.
Goals tonight from Lauren Carmody (5), Stow (2), Barstad, Kison and Gerry. I don’t care who you are playing, scoring 5 goals is pretty impressive Lauren Carmody!! Carmody and Stow lead the scoring this year with 9 and 8 goals respectively.
In honor of the 10 goals here is a little highlight reel to get you pumped up. The Top 10 Goals from the Womens US National Team in 2017.
Really good stuff. Go Abes! Working on a Big Rivers Conference Update. More to follow soon.
