Huskies drop game two in St. Cloud, 5-2
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – No. 9 St. Cloud State Women's Hockey (8-6-0, 6-4-0 Western Collegiate Hockey Association) was swept by No. 2 Minnesota, dropping the series finale 5-2 on Saturday afternoon at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
Minnesota (11-1-0, 7-1-0 WCHA) opened the scoring with a power play tally halfway through the first period, but the Huskies responded with their first goal of the weekend 3:16 into the second period to tie the game at one. Senior forward Alice Sauriol (Sherbrooke, Quebec) forced a turnover deep in the SCSU zone and fired a pass to sophomore forward Julianne Labbé (Wendake, Quebec) who got in behind a Gopher defender and beat the sprawling Minnesota netminder.
The Gophers went on to take a commanding 4-1 lead after netting three goals in the span of 1:21 late in the second period.
SCSU cut its deficit in half 5:49 into the third period, scoring a power play goal of its own – its first in nine games. Sauriol walked in and fired a shot from just inside the right circle that was shouldered away by the Gopher netminder, but she gathered her own rebound in the low slot and scored over the blocker.
In the final 20 seconds, Minnesota added an empty-net goal to make it 5-2.
