LAKE FOREST, Ill. - Marian University women's hockey (1-2-0, 1-1-0 NCHA) played tight with No. 8 Lake Forest but LFC was able to pull out a 4-3 NCHA win late in the third period.

After Lake Forest netted a pair of power-play goals in the second period senior Sarah Bier was able to cut into the deficit just before the second intermission.  Bier would light the lamp at the 17:46 mark for her second goal of the year and was assisted by freshman forward Ally Fox and senior Emily Everson.

The Sabres continued their push as it only took them 15-seconds into the third period for sophomore Abbey Dokken to charge the net and tie the game, assist to Bier.  The LFC power play went back to work, however, retaking the lead 3:42 later.

Sophomore Hailey Miller answered 2:34 later to re-tie the game at 3-3 with an assist from Everson, her second assist of the night.

The scoring rally quieted for a while but the Foresters were able to once again take the lead, this time for good, with another power play goal with just under five minutes to play.

The Forester power play proved to be the difference-maker as LFC scored all of their goals on the power play and went 4-6 with a man-advantage.

The Sabres were outshot 36-18 in the game with sophomore goalie Lindsey Strainis stopping 32 of the Forester shots sent her way.

Marian returns home hosting Adrian for a 7 p.m. puck drop from Blue Line Friday, Nov. 11.
