BLAINE, Minn. — The Golden Gustie offense was firing on all cylinders Saturday afternoon, rolling to a convincing 7-0 win at Bethel to pick up the MIAC sweep. Gustavus improves to 5-0-0 and 4-0-0 in the MIAC heading into the Thanksgiving break.
Neither team scored in the first period, but the Gusties still maintained strong offensive pressure, totaling 12 shots on Bethel's Anna Hanson, compared to two the Royals sent in on
Katie McCoy.
Hailey Holland opened the scoring early in the second period, opening up the floodgates for the Gusties, who added three more in that period alone.
Avery Braunshausen scored the next Gustie goal four minutes after Holland, sending her own rebound between the legs of Hanson for her collegiate first.
Macy Janssen, who scored her first career goal the night before, added her second of the weekend, picking up a rebound from
Emily Olson behind the net and wrapping it around just in time to beat Hanson on her post. Holland sent the team's back to the locker room with a 4-0 Gustie lead, tipping a
Brooke Remington shot from the point into the net for her second of the game.
And the fifth-year senior picked up right where she left off in the third, scoring her third of the game 40 seconds into the final period for her fourth career hat trick. The three-goal performance moves Holland up the program record book, as she is now tied for third among all Gustavus women's hockey players with four career hat tricks.
Sophia Coltvet kept her point streak alive, scoring the game's sixth goal on the power play, followed by another power play tally from
Brooke Power just a minute later for the 7-0 final.
Holland, Power, and Janssen all finished with a multi-point game. Holland led the way with nine shots on goal, followed by five from Coltvet and Power to contribute to the team's 42 overall.
Katie McCoy made four saves between the pipes to pick up the win, while first-year
Maya Marston made one save in her Golden Gustie debut in the third period.
Gustavus is off for the holiday weekend before heading to Winona on Dec. 1 to face Saint Mary's.
