ST. CLOUD, Minn. – St. Cloud State Women's Hockey returns to action this weekend after a two-week hiatus with a road series at Bemidji State. The Huskies and Beavers will open the series Friday at 3:00 p.m. with a 2:00 p.m. CT start on Saturday at the Sanford Center.

Coverage of the series can be seen on B1G+ and hear on 88.1 FM KVSC, with links available on the SCSU Women's Hockey schedule page. The Huskies stand seventh in the WCHA standings with eight points, while Bemidji State sits in sixth with 13.

SCSU posted a runner-up finish at the Battle at the Burgh, upending RV Penn State 4-3 in overtime then falling to Syracuse 5-2. Taylor Lind leads the Huskies in points with a 6-12-18 line, while Emma Gentry is the goal leader with 12 to go with five apples for 17 points. Gentry earned All-Tournament Team honors in Pittsburgh with a three-goal, two-assist showing. Jenniina Nylund has seven goals and eight assists for 15 points and has skated to a team-high plus-eight. Mackenzie Bourgerie (4-5-9) owns a career-high nine points, finding a home as a playmaking center. On the blue line, Dayle Ross leads SCSU with 37 blocks while McKenna Wesloh (1-5-6) leads all Huskies defenders in points. Sanni Ahola posted a .926 save percentage in her last conference series at Minnesota State and leads the goaltending room with four wins. Emma Polusny (3.13 GAA, .909 SV%) is just 51 saves away from tying the program career record held by Laura Gieselman.

Bemdiji State stands 7-12-3 on the year, 2-12-2 in WCHA play. Both Graysen Myers and Reece Hunt have five goals and nine assists for a team-leading 14 points. Paige Beebe is the goal leader with six while Claire Vekich and Lydia Passolt each have scored five times. Standout tender Hannah Hogenson owns a .918 save percentage with a 3.03 goals against average to go 6-8-0 on the season. The Beavers are 1-4-1 over their last six since sweeping SCSU at the HBNHC in December, having been swept at the hands of No. 1 Wisconsin and No. 7/9 Minnesota-Duluth while splitting with Minnesota State.

St. Cloud State returns home next weekend by welcoming Wisconsin to the HBNHC on January 28-29.
