SUPERIOR, Wis. — The No. 1-ranked UW-River Falls women's hockey team won 4-0 Friday night over UW-Superior in the WIAC three-game series opener at Wessman Arena.
UWRF improves to 15-1 overall and 3-1 in the conference with its 11th win in row. The Falcons scored two power play goals and two even-strength tallies, including two goals by

Madison Kadrlik scored her first of two goals on the night on the power play. UWRF didn't look back, with
MaKenna Aure scoring under a minute later and soon after, Kadrlik scoring another to give UWRF a three-goal lead heading into the final 20 minutes.
Megan Goodreau scored a power play goal for extra insurance in the third period while the Falcons held the Yellowjackets to just a pair of shots in goal in the third period.
