She followed it up with assists on both of Izzy Daniel’s goals and helped Cornell sweep the Lakers to open the season.

On Friday, Bard assisted on two of Colgate’s four goals, including Kassy Betinol’s equalizer in the first period and Danielle Serdachny’s insurance goal early in the third. Bard also assisted on Serdachny’s game-winner on Saturday, powering the Raiders to a weekend sweep of the Catamounts.
MAC Goaltending Goaltender of the Week
Captain Amanda Rampado (Sr., Rensselaer) powered the Engineers to their first two wins of the season and first weekend sweep when the team topped RIT by a combined score of 5-0.
