Losing Streak Reaches 10 Games This Season

Happy Holidays Whale fans! I hope y’all have a great time and stay safe out there! Connecticut skated again against the defending champion Minnesota Whitecaps, in their second game this weekend.

Unlike yesterdays game, where all the scoring happened in the third period. Today, all the scoring would happen in the first.

Assist on the play came from Audra Richards, her second assist on the weekend, giving her 4 assists against the Whale this season. 12 minutes later, the Whale would tie the game up. The goal came from their rookie forward Emma Vlasic. It would be her team leading fifth goal of the season. The assist came from Kayla Meneghin, her third of the season. However, three minutes later, Minnesota would regain the lead. Haylea Schmid would score, it would be her second goal of the season. The assist on the play came from Nicole Schammel.

Connecticut rallied well and mounted a furious comeback, however Amanda Leveille had all the answers for each Whale shot.

Both goalies played well, as Leveille faced 33 shots and made 32 saves, and Sonjia Shelly faced 44 shots and made 42 saves.

The next set of games Connecticut plays will be at home against the undefeated Boston Pride. The first game will be on Saturday December 28th at 330p and Sunday December 29th at 130p.

Losing Streak Continues, Thunstrom Gets Hat Trick

The Whale came off of their bye week skating against the defending champions, the Minnesota Whitecaps.

The Whale had an interesting strategy heading into today’s game. They only dressed 4 defenders, with Erin Hall and Jordan Brickner out.

The game had some great back and forth offensive chances between both teams. Both Leveille and Wolejko were on top of their game, coming up with the saves on some incredible opportunities.

The first goal of the game would come in the third period, and it wouldn’t take long as it would be the speedy Allie Thunstrom getting the goal. Minnesota would double their lead 5 minutes later, the goal coming shorthanded by Allie Thunstrom again. She intercepted a pass to the point and was off to the races and scored on Wolejko. Down 2-0, the Whale would pull their goalie at the end of the game to attempt a comeback, but Thunstrom would end up tallying an empty netter, and securing her hat trick.

Not much to say about this game, other than they will get to play Minnesota again tomorrow at 130p.
