Concordia-Wisconsin forward Alyssa Isaackson (Marhsall, Minn. / Marshall) has been named Player of the Week in the NCHA Women's Conference.  Isaackson scored three goals last weekend, two of them game-winning goals, as the Falcons swept Finlandia.

In a 5-1 win last Friday, Isaackson put CUW up 1-0 at 16:11 of the first period.  After the break, she scored the eventual game-winner at 2:02 of the second.  They were her second and third goals of the season for the Concordia-Wisconsin goal leader.

Last Saturday Isaackson broke a scoreless tie midway through the second period.  The goal would be the game's only goal as the Falcons edged the Lions 1-0 to finish the sweep and earn four points in the standings.

 

Allie GOALson: Allie Olson of UW-River Falls scored four times for the #5 Falcons in a pair of victories at St. Scholastica last weekend.  They were the first career goals for the freshman from Monticello, Minn.

Goaltending in De Pere: The UW-Eau Claire / St. Norbert series last weekend featured some stellar goaltending as the teams split their series.  On Friday it was UWEC's Morgan Pieper making 30 saves in a 3-2 Blugold win and on Saturday it was SNC's Kaley Gibson making 25 stops in a 4-1 victory.

Two-F'er: Adrian became the second NCHA team to bust into the USCHO.com rankings when the latest  poll was released.  The Lady Bulldogs are ranked 10th while UW-River Falls held at #5.  UW-River Falls received a first-place vote in this week's poll.
