ST. CLOUD, MINN. – The United States may have just celebrated its 242nd birthday this past Wednesday but the St. Cloud State University women's hockey team is already gearing up for its new season, as the Huskies announced their 2018-19 schedule Thursday afternoon.
SCSU kicks off the new year with an exhibition game scheduled against the Hockey Training Institute at home on Sept. 22. The Huskies will then open the regular season with a two-game series against the University of Connecticut (UCONN) the weekend of September 28-29 and will host RIT in its home opener October 5-6.
"We are very excited about our 2018-19 schedule," head women's hockey coach Eric Rud said in a recent statement. "We have a great incoming class of recruits and signees, which will help us continue to rise up the WCHA rankings this season."
