Abrahamson scored the game-winning goals in both of the Pipers' wins against St. Scholastica over the weekend. Abrahamson's first goal gave the Pipers a 3-2 overtime win on 12/5, while her second score was the difference-maker ahead of an empty-net insurance goal in a 4-2 win on 12/6. Abrahamson also assisted on both of the Pipers' regulation goals in the team's road victory on 12/5. Nikolai Dulak earned MIAC Men's Hockey Offensive Player of the Week! Dulak tallied his first points of the season in the Pipers' sweep of St. Scholastica over the weekend.
