Lexi Slattery has played an important role with SCSU in her final season. She is the second scoring defensemen, following Anderson, and has tallied three goals and 11 assists for 15 total points. Her assists have come in handy this season, as she has tallied four of her 11 assists on game winning goals.
Molly Illikainen is 14th in the WCHA in scoring with 15 goals, 13 assists for 28 points this season. In the Huskies' six-game winning streak she scored eight goals and five assists. After being held without a goal in the first six games, she found the chemistry with her line mates and recorded 12 goals and 18 points in 10 straight games. Illikainen is sitting at 95 career points with two conference series to play in her senior year, which is a number that has not been matched for the Huskies since the 2009-10 season.
