Cobbers Fall In Second Game at Augsburg

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (2/03/24)---Concordia finished off its 2-game series at Augsburg by dropping a 3-0 decision.

The Cobbers gave up a single goal in the first period and then two more in the third as they lost both games of the series in Minneapolis.

Augsburg (15-6-0, 11-3-0 MIAC) got on the board with an even-strength goal at the 17:50 mark of the first period. The Auggies were able to free up an attacker in the neutral zone and then she fired a shot from 30 feet out of goal that snuck into the left corner.

Neither team scored in the second period with the Cobbers having the better of the chances but not being able to find the back of the net. Augsburg scored the insurance goal at 4:22 of the final frame when Concordia was unable to clear the puck from in front of the net and an Auggie attacker chipped the puck over Cobber goalie Hailey Bailee.

The final goal in the game came at 13:56 of the third period as Augsburg closed out the score line with the 3-0 win.

Concordia was outshot 39-18 in the game. Senior defensive player Josie Hell led CC with three shots on goal.

Bailey made a career-high 36 saves for the Cobbers. It is the second time she has made at least 30 saves this season. She now has an 86.5% save percentage for the year.

Both teams struggled on the power play, with neither team being able to score on five power play opportunities each.

UP NEXT: Concordia will return to Moorhead to play its final series at home. The Cobbers will face No.2-ranked Gustavus on Feb. 9-10. Both of the games will be played at the Cullen Youth Center in Moorhead instead of the Moorhead Sports Center.
