Dajia chalked up three points, on a goal and two assists, as the Ravens swept a two-game series from Post at home over the weekend.

In all, Dajia recorded 11 shots, including eight on Friday, and was +5 over the two games, while blocking two shots as well.
Meanwhile, Kelley also had three points, with a pair of goals and an assist. On Friday night, she scored on the power play in the second period after dishing out an assist in the first. In Saturday’s 4-1 win, Kelley put home the game-winning goal early in the third period. In total, she recorded nine shots and was +2, while winning 25 of 37 faceoffs.
On the season, Dajia has played in 17 of 25 games for the Ravens and recorded 10 points (3-7-10), while leading the team in plus/minus, at +20. Kelley has 10 points as well (5-5-10), while playing in all 25 games.
