St. Cloud, Minn. -Â St. Cloud State women's hockey is set to end their six-game road stand Jan. 24-25 as they travel to #1 Minnesota before coming back to Brooks Center. The Huskies and the Gophers will kick-off their series Friday with the puck drop at 7:07 p.m. from Ridder Arena with Saturday's game also a 7:07 p.m. start time.
THE RECORD: The Huskies hold a 4-19-3 overall record and a 3-15-2-1 record good for 12 points in the ever-grueling WCHA coming into their series against Minnesota. St. Cloud sits tied for seventh place currently in conference standings with Minnesota State.
LAST TIME OUT: The Huskies traveled to #4 North Dakota this past weekend for a two-game series at the Ralph Engelstad Arena. The Huskies were unable to come away with some wins as UND took both games shutting out SCSU 4-0 and battling to a 3-1 win for the sweep. Earning the sole goal for the Huskies was sophomore Hanna Brodt. At the 11:41 mark of the period Brodt found the back of the net taking a 1-0 lead over UND shooting from the slot to put the puck over the shoulder of the UND goalie. This was also Brodt's first goal of the season. Senior forward Sydney Burghardt was credited with the assist on the goal for her fourth of the season. Earning both starts of the series against UND this weekend was netminder Julie Friend. Friend recorded 33 saves on Friday and another 32 saves on Saturday. With the series, Friend saw her record move to 3-12-2 on the season.
