Friday's puck drop at the Sanford Center is scheduled for 3:07 p.m. CST, with a 1:07 p.m. CST Saturday start slated for the finale.
 Bemidji State leads the all-time series with a 48-41-10 record. This is the third and final meeting between the Huskies and Beavers in 2020-21. The Huskies went undefeated against Bemidji State on January 15-16, winning Friday's contest 3-1 and tying Saturday's affair 2-2. SCSU earned four points in the standings as BSU earned the extra Saturday tally in a shootout win. Emma Gentry and Taylor Lind each scored a goal in both games and Lind finished with a team-high three points, adding an assist Friday. Emma Polusny earned the win Friday with a 33-save performance, while Nicole Ness scored her first collegiate goal in Friday's game. The Huskies have gone 2-1-1 against BSU this season.

Scouting the Huskies
St. Cloud State currently stands at 4-12-1 on the season, sitting at sixth in the WCHA standings, having already surpassed their WCHA win total from a year ago. SCSU stands at 13.5 with a .265 points percentage. The Huskies split with Minnesota State in their last time out. Freshman Sanni Ahola backstopped SCSU to a 4-0 victory on Friday, stopping a career-best 38 shots while recording her second career shutout.
