Flanagan, 5-7, scored the team's first goal early in the third period against Gustavus. The goal tied the game at the time, 1-1. On Saturday she scored the team's third goal at 6:10 of the second period. She also picked up the first assist on the team's fifth goal, a power-play tally, midway through the second stanza. This year Flanagan leads the team with five points on four goals and one assist. She has one game-winning goal. “Katie is our hardest worker right now,” said Falcon Coach Joe Cranston.
