Game recap from Monday, February 7

Monday's home game versus Glory Days resulted in a 2-0 victory.

The puck found itself in both ends of the ice for most of the first period. Towards the end of the period, Minnesota Mean had a few dominating chances in the opposing end. 

During the second period, the back and forth play was overshadowed  by Glory Days' ability to move the puck to each other and good stickhandling moves. Glory Days had a few scary scoring opportunities, but MN Mean goaltender Shelby Rasmussen held strong in net. The first tally of the game was awarded to Minnesota Mean's Jess Smith at 3:10 of the period off of a strong rush and assist from Morgan Lunders. 

The third period was also back and forth. Minnesota Mean exhibited their speed, while Glory Days played physical and connected. MN Mean put the puck behind Glory Days' goaltender Nicole Muske for the final time at 7:50 after a tangled up scrum to the left of the net. The goal was awarded to Mean's Elle Adams, assisted again by Morgan Lunders. At 6:40 of the period, Glory Days' Kelly Sullivan received a penalty for tripping. 

The two goal lead and hardworking defense proved to be enough for the Minnesota Mean to hold on for a victory. 

MN Mean's next game is Saturday, February 12 on Augsburg B at 8:00pm, where they will face Fusion.
