Preparing Hockey for Girls: Harriman, Stewart lift CEC past Pine City

His 58th cant, wearing a purple-white blouse, translated the script.

The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point athletics commitment defeated Pine City goalkeeper Allison Fix twice with two nearly identical shots from the right point, helping to lead Lumberjacks to a 5-1 win at Northwoods Credit Union Arena.

The goal eruption was a welcome change for Harriman, who says he’s used to finding the scoreboard with entries.

“It was really surprising,” Harriman said. “Obviously I’m not really a scorer. I usually get passes, and I always hope so, there are passes. Of course, taking last year’s goals isn’t something I’m not going to complain about, so I’m pretty happy about it.”

CEC coach Courtney Olin was excited to see that her hard work was rewarded.

“He’s just a kid who always smiles and works hard and just a great kid on the ice and beyond,” I was said. “I was really happy to see that he managed to find the back of the net because he’s very strong and has a really good shot.”

Lumberjacks opened the goal for the first period after a 7:46 goal, which was originally recorded for Tenley Stewart but was later awarded to Brynn Martin, who hit the rebound from the first season of the season, with the CEC leading 1-0. .

The explosion of goal-scoring opportunities almost increased CEC’s single-goal advantage, but Fix remained upright in the waning minutes of the period to remain a single-goal game in the first half.

The desperate CEC picked up pressure after the break and received the award when Harriman broke into the first result of the evening with a partially ventilated, seeing eye strike that found its way to the back of the net.

“At first I just tried to hope and pray that someone got it (hint), but I mean it was right there (and) it just went in, so I was pretty happy about it,” Harriman said.

CEC top scorer Marina Dostal, who came into the game with 10 goals in season, received three penalty kicks that led to a pair of power game markers from Harriman and Stewart at the end of the second set and the second at the start of the third set.

“Marina is a competitor on the ice and beyond,” I was said. “He’s a multi-sport athlete, and he notices that. He’s just very competitive, he’s working really hard and he’s always a kid I would put my money into a fight for.

Stewart led 4-1 after finishing Pine City at the end of the second set. He scored the final score for the CEC during his fourth term. The senior captain had previously bounced in the lineup as a defender and striker before settling into the first-line right-wing striker for Thursday’s match.

According to Olin, the desire to play anywhere is just one of the many reasons he uses the letter C when knitting.

“Earlier in the year, when we talked about possible playing ahead, he just said I’ll do whatever team needs,” I had said. “I don’t think you’ll find a captain who’s better in terms of locker room leadership.”

The win will move ‘Jacks to victory for the season 7-5-1, with the match against Marshall on Tuesday, January 4 at home next on schedule.
