With KUA's #1 goalie, Julia Fontaine out for their re-match against NMH, KUA was not sure what kind of improvements they would show against a team that beat them handedly earlier in the season.  Senior Rose Abendroth, however, stepped up to the crease. Although, KUA would miss her from the defensive line-up, they were thrilled to have an experienced netminder between the pipes.  The school bus ride to Massachussets provided ample time to mentally prepare for the game, and when the puck dropped, the cats were ready.  Multiple chances at both ends of the ice provided an exciting game for spectators.  KUA looked sharp.  A tough bounce granted NMH a short breakaway, and she capitalized on the opportunity.  Minutes later, a puck rung both posts and found its' way over the goal line to make it 2-0 in favor of the Hoggers.  Although, the next two periods provided many opportunities for KUA, luck was not on their side.  Final score was 4-0 against a team that had beat them 6-1 earlier in the season.  Just two games left in the season, and KUA is on the hunt for another W.  

Wednesday provided one of the best hockey games we have seen out of the KUA Girls JV squad.  Back and forth action for the full 45 minutes.  What stood out more than anything was great goaltending at both ends. Fontaine stood on her head for most of the game, smothering rebound after rebound.  KUA played well defensively, and often sustained pressure offensively, but could not catch a break in front of the net.  Huge improvements were seen since the first game against Proctor this season.  Onwards to a road game on Saturday vs. NMH.
