Christine Dickinson (Jr.-Layton, Utah/Shattuck-St. Mary's) added another goal five minutes later with an assist from Rita Simones to give Eau Claire the 2-0 lead. Dittrich then went on to score in each of the next two periods with Jenkins assisting on both and McKay assisting on the game's final goal. Dittrich is now tied with two others for second place for most points in a career with 75. Kristin Faber (Jr.-Austin, Minn.) holds the school record with 80.
