We say ‘let’s make the power play more of a threat.’”The persistent Bulldogs lit the lamp once in each period: Deena Caplette commenced the scoring with a power-play strike in the first, Jenna Spring notched a goal early in the second, and freshman Sarah Tittman iced it with an empty-netter in the third.
