Daring Do Scores First Career Hat Trick

 

Daring Do scored all three Wild goals in a 4-3 Overtime Loss on Friday

 

In her relatively short career, Daring Do's time in the VHLM has been full of ups and downs. While she's been more notable this season for her physical play than her goal scoring abilities, that hasn't stopped her from trying to work on her shot and improve in all areas of her game. The leading scorer among right-wings this season, she currently sits 16th among all skaters in scoring and 10th in goals. Her most notable accomplishment when it comes to scoring this season, however, came just last game when she scored all three of Saskatoon's goals in a 4-3 overtime loss to the Oslo Storm. Asked about her performance after the game, Daring Do commented that she was pleased with her first career hat trick, but that she still needed to be better for her teammates. "When it comes down to it, three goals wasn't enough. I needed to pick up one more goal somewhere in that game in order to give us the win. As nice as it was to put the team up 3-1 in the opening period, I can't stop scoring after the first 20 minutes are over. I had 40 more minutes plus overtime to pick up the one more goal we needed to go home with the W, and I just couldn't do it. Next time I pick up a hat trick hopefully it'll be leading Saskatoon to a championship victory."

 

Overall the game was dominated by the Saskatoon right winger. She picked up 10 of the team's 26 shots, as well as leading the team with 5 hits on the night. With her 13.50% shooting percentage this season, Saskatoon will be looking for more efforts like this one from Daring Do as they finish out the season. While the team has scoring up and down the roster, and really isn't lacking in that department, they're going to be hopeful that this 10 shot, 3 goal effort is a sign of what they're going to be getting out of the young winger as she plays in what are likely to be the final games of her VHLM career.

 

Saskatoon will be getting another crack at the Oslo Storm tonight as they look to exact their revenge for a game they believe they should have been able to win. In post-game comments, Daring Do commented that the Storm were a "soft" team, and shied away from playing a physical game. She added that she truly believes the last two games were Saskatoon's to win, and that she and the rest of the Wild will be coming out swinging when they hit the ice tonight in Oslo.
