 The BSU women's hockey team is back in action this weekend against Minnesota Duluth, where they'll face a goalie that you'll probably recognize if you tuned into the Olympics this year. Junior Maddie Rooney will be between the pipes for the Bulldogs. Rooney led Team USA to a gold medal in South Korea, stopping 29 shots and four of Canada's six shootout attempts. This season she has a 2.81 goals against Average for Duluth, and the Beavers know they'll have to make her job difficult in order to get off her game. She never gives up on a puck, and if you think you have an easy tap and all of a sudden she flashes something, whether it's a pad or a glove, she doesn't get beat on first shots very often, so you can't be on the perimeter of the entire game and think you're going to score on it. You just can't. You've got to create traffic. You've got to try to create chaos. She's just like any other goalie. I mean they all make mistakes. They can't save everything, so that's just our first priority is getting to get shots. We've talked a lot about getting rebounds. She kicks a lot of rebounds out, so just getting rebounds. If she sees it, she's going to stop it, so being in front of the net, screening her, getting tips, getting sticks on pucks, and just being ready to bury anything. These teams met eight times last year, including the playoffs, so certainly a familiar rivalry.
