Cardinal In The Spotlight

Jessica Ribish

Year: Junior

Pos.: Forward

Hometown: Elm Grove, WI

Academic Major: Marketing

From Coach Mannor: “Because of her speed and determination, Jessica is always a threat to open up the game and create scoring opportunities. She’s a great student as well, proving that her work ethic is not limited to the ice.”



Game Notes
Augsburg took three of four points (1-1 tie, 3-1 win) from the Cardinals during the regular-season a year ago, but it was SMU that had the upper hand (3-1) when the two squared off in last year's MIAC playoff opener. … Jessica Ribish scored a second-period power play goal, but Augsburg got the equalizer five minutes into the third period and Auggie goalie Amanda Bockmann stopped 45 of the 46 shots she faced as the two teams battled to a 1-1 tie Friday in Minneapolis, Minn.
