BELOIT, Wis. – The MSOE women's hockey team kicked off 2026 in style, blasting the Beloit Buccaneers as the Raiders recorded a lopsided win to start the New Year.
FINAL SCORE
MSOE RAIDERS – 5
Beloit College – 1
HOW IT HAPPENED
- MSOE (5-7-1, 3-4-1 NCHA) needed little time to get in front of Beloit (2-11-0) as Lexi Jackson recorded her second goal of the season to put the Raiders up 1-0 just four minutes into the contest. The Red and White would dominate the first period of play, holding the Buccaneers to just six shots in the first 20 minutes.
- After continuing a powerplay across the first intermission, Nadia Buck would convert the opportunity for the Raiders as she buried a shot in the back of the net thanks to assists from Jackson and Gray Mandia. After almost nineteen minutes of scoreless play, the Red and White would tag the Buccaneers for one more goal in the second period, as Emily Reiner scored her first goal of the afternoon with just 33 seconds left before the break.
- A Hannah Baumann goal would push the MSOE lead to 4-0 just past the midway point of the third period, with the Buccaneers adding their first goal of the game mere minutes later. With just over five minutes to play Amy MacDonald added her third assist of the game on Reiner's second goal as the Raiders ran away with the lopsided win, holding Beloit to just seventeen total shots in the 5-1 victory.
