BERLIN — The Lady Moun- taineers (5-3) rocked the Notre Arena on Saturday giving the La- dy Bobcats (6-2) their second loss of the season 2-1 with a show stopping sudden death goal by Meagan Accardi. With 1:48 left in overtime Ac- cardi stole the puck between the red and the blue lines and swooped towards the Bobcat goal. Accardi carried the puck up to goaltender Jess Pitroff and flicked it right over her left shoul- der pad for the game winner. In the first minute of regula- tion the Bobcats had the first shot within the first 20 seconds and barely gave Berlin room to breath out shooting them 7-1. The sev- enth shot came four minutes in by Bobcat Becca Murphy who made a turnover at the blue with open ice between her and Berlin goalie Chelsey Caron. Despite the break Caron skillfully squeezed the save at the right post.
