With 9:21 to go and up 10-0, Richter skated off the ice to a standing ovation as sophomore backup goaltender John Riley took his place to finish out the shutout. The two combined for 29 saves.

As a high school star who towered above the competition both literally and figuratively, Markley has had to learn how to use her body to her advantage and to play defense without the easy block as a backup plan. On top of these normal adjustments, Markley suffered a concussion in October that kept her off the court for more than five weeks.
