Wisconsin-Superior goaltender earned her second career collegiate shutout, on 22 saves, as the Yellowjackets shut out Northland 2-0 on Friday, Nov. 18 at Wessman Arena.
The sophomore from Devils Lake, North Dakota, did the most work in the second period with 10 saves, but the hosts had a good handle on play throughout, outshooting the Lumberjills in all three periods and finishing with an overall advantage of 37-22.
UWS took the lead early, as Gaby Andreacchi notched her first goal of the season just 4:24 into the game. The Yellowjackets nursed a one-goal lead into the third period, then doubled it when Anna Scherling scored her first of the season 1:15 after the intermission.
That proved to be enough for UWS to even its Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference record to 1-1 and go to 4-2 overall.
Sky Hughes made 35 saves for Northland.

A third goal came late in the frame, with Zach Bannister scoring at 17:23. That turned out to complete the scoresheet for the night.
