Hive Five! Bad Bees Out-Buzz Power Puck Girls 4-2 in High-Energy Clash
The Women's Division treated us to an electric showcase of pure offensive determination this week as the Bad Bees snapped a two-game slump with a thrilling 4-2 victory over the hard-charging Power Puck Girls.
Jessica Harper got the hive buzzing early in the opening frame, burying a sweet feed from Lauren A Mincey to take the initial lead. But the Power Puck Girls brought plenty of voltage to the ice. Early in the second period, Lindsey Smith lit the lamp for her very first goal of the season courtesy of an apple served up by Addison Gaut. Bad Bees’ jersey #28 managed an unassisted strike late in the second to regain the edge, setting up a wild third period.
The Bad Bees stretched the lead when jersey #13 converted, highlighted by a sharp helper from Grace Wolff—which pushed Wolff’s dazzling point streak to four consecutive games. Refusing to go quietly, the Power Puck Girls rallied when Suzanne Hawkins buried her first goal of the campaign unassisted, cutting the deficit to a single goal and dialing up the drama. Ultimately, #28 found the twine one more time off Harper's second point of the night to seal the win.
