Cardinal In The Spotlight

Jenna Roland

Year: Junior

Pos.: Defense

Hometown: Boyne City, MI

Major: Biology

From Coach Mannor: “A true ‘student’ of the game, Jenna is always searching for ways to improve her play. Her physical play makes her a force in the ‘D’ zone, and her hard shot makes her a constant offensive threat.”



Game Notes
The Cardinals got a second-period goal from Amy Madden (East Grand Rapids, Mich.) and a third-period, short-handed tally from Laura Mueller (St. Paul, Minn.) — as well as 30 saves from Nikki Jung (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) — in a 2-0 victory over the Cobbers Friday at the SMU Ice Arena. … The Cardinals now own a 10-1-2 all-time record vs. the Cobbers.

Cardinal Notes


Nikki
Jung
30-save
shutout vs.
Cobbers
The Cardinals are now 7-0-2 in their last nine meetings vs. Concordia. SMU has not lost to the Cobbers since a 3-0 loss on Feb. 10, 2001 and is 10-1-2 all-time vs. Concordia. … Nikki Jung (Inver Grove Heights, Minn.) stopped all 30 shots she faced in recording her first shutout of the season and the 10th of her career. … The shutout was the Cardinals’ first since a 3-0 triumph over UW-Eau Claire on Jan. 29 of last season. … Jung’s 30-save effort pushed her save percentage to .907, while lowering her goals-against-average to 3.26. … Amy Madden’s (East Grand Rapdis, Minn.) second-period goal was her fourth of the season and pushed her team-leading point total to 11. … Madeline Loftus (Parsippany, N.J.), who assisted on Madden’s tally, also has 11 points, including a team-best six goals. … Laura Mueller’s (St. Paul, Minn.) goal, her third of the season, was the Cardinals’ second short-handed goal of the season. … Three of the Cardinals’ four wins have come at home. … SMU is now 4-4-1 when scoring first. The Cardinals are 0-6-1 when giving up the game’s first goal. … Seven of the Cardinals' 10 losses — including both setbacks last weekend vs. No. 3 Gustavus — have come against nationally ranked opponents.

Cobber Notes
The Cobbers had entered Friday’s game with a 4-1-1 record in their last six games. … Friday’s shutout loss was the fourth time this season the Cobbers have been held without a goal. … Concordia has been held to just eight goals in its nine losses. … Concordia has scored first in just four of its 15 games (2-1-1), and — thanks to Friday’s second-period goal by SMU’s Amy Madden — the Cobbers fall to 2-8-2 in games in which their opponents score first. … Alyssa Dahl leads the Cobbers in goals (6) and shares the team lead in points (9) with Ceara Bergsrud. … Mandi Samuelson is the team-leader in assists (5). … Jenna Johnson, who stopped all 22 Hamline shots last Saturday in posting her second shutout of the season — and had kicked out 138 of 148 shots during the Cobbers’ 4-1-1 stretch — finished with 29 saves vs. SMU Friday. … After opening the season with 11 of their first 13 games at home, Concordia is in the midst of a regular season-ending 10-game road swing.
