Herdt scored her first collegiate goal at 7:46 with an assist from fellow freshman Maiah McCowan.

Callie Fagerstrom picked up the first of her two assists on the night on the goal that staked the Cobbers to a 2-1 lead.

Bethel regained a one-goal advantage with a shorthanded goal at 7:11 and then an even-strength tally at 16:12.
