Women’s Hockey
@ Augsburg 6-1 W
The first game of the playoffs saw the Hamline pipers take on Augsburg. The winner of this game would be headed to the MIAC Championship on Mar. 2. This put the pressure on both teams as they sought to have a chance at the MIAC Championships. The first period didn’t see either team score, it wasn’t until the second when only thirty seconds in junior Bre Simon put Hamline ahead, followed less than two minutes later by senior Leah Schwartzman. The pipers did not let up scoring two more times in the period to Augsburgs one. This saw the score at 4-1 at the end of the second period. Looking to finish the game Hamline managed two more points on the board. The pipers are set to face off against St.Thomas on Mar. 2. The last time the teams met they split their two games.
