Adrian found another opportunity in the second period from Brianna Buchanan, but the St. Norbert goaltender made a diving save to block Buchanan’s shot.
Adrian continued the scoring in the third period as Kelly O’Sullivan took the puck coast to coast and scored against three St. Norbert defenders to take a 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs added an insurance goal with just over 10 minutes left in the third period when Reaghan Pietrowski scored to lead 4-0 and come away with the win.
