Katie Batters tied the school record with five points to help lead the Falcon women's hockey team to an 8-1 win at St. Olaf on Wednesday night.

The eight goals is the second most by the Falcons in a game this year - falling just behind the nine scored in a 9-3 win at St. Thomas on Nov. 9. UWRF had 45 shots on goal, just one off its season high (46) when the Falcons beat St. Olaf, 7-2, at Hunt Arena on Nov. 26.

All of Batters' goals came at even strength. She scoerd the game's first goal at 6:07 of the first period, it was her eighth of the season. She was assisted by Allie Olson and Paige Johnson. SO tied the game with a power-play goal about three minutes later, but it was all UWRF after that. 

The Falcons scored three second period goals. Batters scored her second of the game at 4:58, unassisted. She completed the hat trick with a goal at 15:55 - and that was also unassisted. The other second period goal was by Dani Sibley who scored her fourth goal of the year at 10:17. She was assisted by Alice Cranston and Jenna Ulberg. 

UWRF added four more goals in the third period - with three of them coming in the first 3:30 of the period. Sibley scored her second of the game and fifth of the season at 2:09. This time Ulberg picked up the first assist and Cranston the second. Just 30 seconds later the Falcons went ahead, 6-1, when Brook Story scored her fifth goal of the year, unassisted. At 3:30 Chloe Kinsel scored her seventh goal of the season with Batters and Emily Stark getting the two assists. Story scored her second of the game, and sixth of the year, at 7:08 and Batters and Sam Greeley assisting.

Batters now has seven assists and a team best 17 points. She also leads the team with 10 goals. 

Gillian McDonald picked up the win in goal for the Falcons. She stopped 29 of the 30 shots she faced. She had 15 saves in the first period, 10 in the second and just four in the third. She is now 2-1 this season.

UWRF outshot the Oles, 45-30, and the Falcons are now 7-0 in the all-time series with St. Olaf. UWRF was 1-5 on the power play while SO was 1-7. The Falcons took seven minor penalties and St. Olaf five.

The Falcons, now 8-3-2 overall, will play a weekend non-conference series at Concordia-Moorhead. On Friday the puck drops at 7 p.m. Saturday's game starts at 11 a.m., a change to the original schedule that had a 2 p.m., start time.
