Middlebury, VT - The Mules travelled to number 1 ranked Middlebury to play in the NESCAC final four.  The Mules challenged Amherst in the semifinal game today.  The team knew this would be a difficult game seeing as Amherst is one of the three teams that was able to beat the Mules this season.  The Mules fought hard and made it to overtime, but were unable to secure their spot in championship game.

In the first period, neither team was able to score similar to their previous time they played each other.  Nina Prunster had two saves for her team and the Mules had six shots on goal.

Going into the second period, play continued to be even until the Mammoths scored in the 16th minute.  The Mules tacked on six more shots with plenty of opportunities while Prunster had eight more saves.
