Huskies drop series finale to UMD 3-2
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – No. 10/11 St. Cloud State Women's Hockey (4-8-0, 1-7-0 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) dropped its series finale to No. 5 Minnesota Duluth 3-2 on Saturday afternoon at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud. The Bulldogs swept the weekend series.
For the third game in a row, the Huskies jumped out to an early first period lead after converting on a well-executed breakout. Freshman forward Raili Mustonen (Kalajoki, Finland) (Kalajoki, Finland) provided a beautiful cross-ice setup for junior forward Sofianna Sundelin (Ulvila, Finland/Kuortane Urheiluopisto) (Ulvila, Finland) who netted her third goal of the season to give SCSU a 1-0 lead. Less than 1:45 later, Minnesota Duluth responded with a goal of its own to tie the game at one.
The Bulldogs (8-4-0, 4-4-0 WCHA) scored their second of the game late in the second period and took a 2-1 lead into the second intermission.
UMD added its third tally of the game just 29 seconds into the third period before St. Cloud State cut its deficit back to one just under five minutes later after freshman forward Payton Remick (Roseau, Minn.) tipped graduate defender Grace Wolfe's (Owatonna, Minn.) shot into the back of the net for her first collegiate goal. The Huskies emptied their net for the final 2:58 but could not tie the game despite giving themselves multiple scoring chances.
