Box Score ERIE, Pa. – Mercyhurst women's ice hockey freshman

Mercyhurst (11-12-2, 8-2-1) did not score in the first period but did hold Lindenwood without a shot on goal through the opening 20 minutes (13-0). It looked like the second period would also be a scoreless frame until a Lindenwood penalty put the Lakers on the power play where Dobson scored at the 19:19 mark.
In the final period, Tanskanen scored on a two-on-one breakaway to double the Laker lead at 13:04. Back-to-back Lindenwood penalties at 15:35 and 15:55 allowed Mercyhurst a five-on-three power play where Dobson netted her second of the game at 17:28.
Sarah McDonnell recorded her second-straight shutout after fending away just nine shots in the second and third periods. Mercyhurst led Lindenwood (6-14-1, 4-7-0) in shots on goal 47-9. The Lakers finished 2-for-5 on the power play with ten shots on goal while Lindewood scoreless with one shot on its lone power play of the game.
Dobson's two-goal game was the first multi-goal game of her career. The Lakers improved to 6-0 this season when leading after two periods and 4-0 when having one player score multiple goals.
The Lakers look to continue their hot streak tomorrow when they finish their regular-season series against Lindenwood at 2 p.m. at Mercyhurst Ice Center.
