In Saturday’s 9-0 Cardinal win, Boric tallied one assist and a +3 rating as the Cardinals extended their NCAA Division III women’s ice hockey record home-winning streak to 44 games. Her assist came on the Cardinals’ third goal of the game, which was scored by first-year defenseman Mattie Norton (Glen Carbon, Ill./St. Louis Lady Blues) on the power play at 12:38 of the second period.
With her performance, Boric enters the week ranked fourth in NCAA Division III women’s ice hockey in points per game (2.67), tied with Krauseneck for fifth in assists per game (1.67) and tied for 12th in goals per game (1.00). The NEWHL leader in points (16), Boric has recorded at least one point in each game this season with five multi-point performances.
