The Jeffs have earned respect as a result of their ascension.
Opponents are well aware of Tarasai Karega’s skill on offense:
Her 20 goals last season led Amherst and the conference.
Karega has a presence on the ice, though her stature is small;
On the penalty kill, power play and at even strength, she does it all.
Against Middlebury, Karega’s talent was on display;
Her scoring chances were followed by shouts for “TK.”
The next game on offense Karega was more than just a threat;
Three times she had a hand in finding the back of Williams’ net.
Her first-period goal broke open the then scoreless game;
She followed that with a power play tally in the second frame.
Karega added an assist and the Jeffs wallowed in the 7-0 win;
A 4-0-2 record is a great way for the season to begin!
