School-Record Shot Total Pushes Cobbers To 4-0 Win At Northland

ASHLAND, Wis. (11/23/21)---Concordia put up a school-record 68 shots in its 4-0 win over Northland at the Bay Area Civic Arena.

Klemetsrud earned her second assist of the game and Allison O'Kane also got on the scoresheet for helping set up the goal. For Friese, it was her third goal of the year and third in as many games.

Concordia finally broke free of the Lumberjills in the third period. A goal at the 4:03 mark by senior Brooke McMillen and the fourth of the game was scored by Josie Hell at 14:38.
