CHESTERFIELD, Mo. – Maryville W1 Ice Hockey won a pair of games over the University of Michigan-Dearborn this past weekend. Sarah Brooks scored twice on Saturday in a 2-0 win, while goalie Kaitlyn Cadrain saved 37 of 38 shots to improve their record to 8-2 overall in 2023.
 
The Saints dominated the first period on Saturday, outshooting the visitors 14-3 in the opening frame. Brooks broke through on the powerplay at 15:27 for her second goal of the season, assisted by Paige Dawson and Ana Kahlhammer. The junior from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, doubled the lead in the second period off another pass from Dawson and Mady Johnson. Cadrain took it from there and earned her sixth win and second shutout of the season with a 16-save performance.
 
On Sunday, Maryville again dominated the first period with Addison Cooper getting the first goal of the game off Johnson's fourth helper of the season. Johnson got a goal of her own in the second period before UMD scored at 7:32. The Saints responded minutes later with a pair of powerplay goals from Brooklyn Gillings and Maude St. Louis to make it 4-1.
