Lou OrlandoHOST
Amanda Tiele was on that team as well.
Lou OrlandoHOST
And then when she comes over to Wisconsin, you're backing up Ava McNaughton, who is already an Olympian.
Lou OrlandoHOST
You know, playing under some really talented peo- Right, we, we know how good Reagan Kirk is.
Lou OrlandoHOST
We know how good Ava McNaughton has been hyped up to be, and we've seen her at the Olympic level a little bit already.
Lou OrlandoHOST
So not necessarily, again, a complete indictment about Quinn Coontz and her skill level.
Lou OrlandoHOST
But you're coming in here and there's not a ton of flexibility, I think, in this goalie room, right? Like, the Sirens signed Elaine Chule to a two-year free agent deal, and they extended Callie Shanahan on a two-year deal.
JossieHOST
Yeah.
JossieHOST
Ava McNaughton took some sort of weird body contact in the crease.
JossieHOST
Was it Northeastern they were playing? St.
JossieHOST
Lawrence.
AndrewHOST
They had to sweat a little bit on Friday to play from behind, gave up the first two goals at St. Lawrence.
AndrewHOST
But more importantly for them, Ava McNaughton had to leave that first game for them.
AndrewHOST
Again, Wisconsin's a beast.
AndrewHOST
They can probably win with their club goaltender most games, but that's obviously something that they've got Ohio State nearby on the schedule.
Nicole HaaseHOST
So hopefully it can kind of bring everybody else along.
Todd MilewskiHOST
Number one, Wisconsin got a road sweep of St. Lawrence, 6-2 and 6-0, but may have come at a cost of Ava McNaughton, the goalie, being injured in that first game.
Todd MilewskiHOST
Day-to-day is her saddest.
Todd MilewskiHOST
She didn't dress for the Saturday game.
Brian PosickHOST
He'll join us in a moment.
Brian PosickHOST
Meanwhile, the top-ranked Wisconsin women's hockey team, coming off back-to-back national titles, opened its season last weekend with six-two and six-nothing wins at St. Lawrence, where Captain Kelly Gorbatenko scored twice in both games, and, uh, sophomore Raya Stewart didn't allow a goal in relief of injured goalie Ava McNaughton.
Brian PosickHOST
We have some good news about Ava with head coach Mark Johnson a little later in the show.
Brian PosickHOST
By the way, the Badger women will lift their ninth NCAA [chuckles] championship banner to the rafters at LaBahn Arena before Thursday night's home opener against Boston University.

Mark JohnsonGUEST
... is the important part of it, but more importantly is, is to try to get better and, and make strides in what we're trying to become.
Brian PosickHOST
Yeah.
Brian PosickHOST
Then your All-American goaltender, Ava McNaughton, goes down with an injury.
Brian PosickHOST
But Raya Stewart, who played twelve games last year, beat Ohio State, beat Minnesota, among others, came in and did a nice job for you.
Mark StewartGUEST
That's going to be interesting.
Mark StewartGUEST
Who's going to emerge as the next star of Wisconsin women's hockey? They still have Ava McNaughton, their Olympic goaltender, and that's a great place to start.
Mark StewartGUEST
Kelly Gorbotenko, she's a player that I could see maybe having a breakthrough year.
Mark StewartGUEST
She's a fourth-year player who played on their top lines, but when you're playing with you know, future, you know, high draft picks and Olympians, you know, it might be hard to completely show what you can do.
