...contributed a goal and three assists—provided the scoring opportunities, on the other side of the rink, sophomore goaltender Kyle Richter and the defense simultaneously blanked the Bobcats, the team’s fourth shutout of the season.Although welcomed, the historically dominating numbers were not expected.
