HEAR FROM COACH NIKOLIC
"I'm very happy with how we moved the ball in the second half. We were scrappy when we needed to be in the back and created a lot of great opportunities on the attack. Now it is time for a quick recovery before our last non-conference match on Sunday."
STATWORTHY
Mikkelson earned her first goal of her career, along with her first game winning goal. She also recorded her second assist on the young season. Baker scored her third goal on the year, moving her career total to 16. Strokosch earned her second assist for the season.
Mia Guyton was in net for the Rangers, making six saves on as many attempts.
