Alexis Campbell of Kinosota can add a silver medal on the national stage to her impressive resume on the ice.
With the Assiniboine College (AC) Cougars at the Division 2 national championships in St. Louis, Campbell and her teammates came up short on Tuesday in the national finale against Sault College, 6-2.
Tied at one almost halfway through the first period, Sault College ran away with the game as Materia Land scored three straight goals to give her team a 4-1 lead after 20 minutes, and they never looked back.
Campbell and her teammates unleashed a spectacular surge to secure a playoff spot, sweeping their way through the round-robin stage with three big victories. After a commanding 4-1 triumph over Providence College, the Kinosota native had an assist as the Cougars stifled Central Michigan University, limiting them to a mere 12 shots and cruising to a 5-2 victory.
In their final round-robin showdown, Campbell added another assist, helping propel the team to a resounding 7-1 rout of Eastern Michigan University.
Assiniboine College beat the United States Naval Academy, 2-1, on Monday to advance to Tuesday's national final. What a season it was for Alexis and her teammates.
Campbell had one goal and seven points in 22 conference games this season, helping the Cougars go 21-2-2 before their great performance on the national stage.
