Box Score The Bulldogs are on a winning streak.

All the University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey team needed coming into its series with St. Cloud State University was wins and the Bulldogs made it two triumphs in a row with a 2-1 victory Saturday afternoon at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn.  

UMD jumped out to an early lead 5:44 into the first period on a brilliant feed from behind the net by junior winger Jenna McParland right to the stick of senior forward Jamie Kenyon who buried it from the slot for the 1-0 lead.  The goal was Kenyon's third on the weekend and overall netted three of UMD's four tallies in the series.

After a goal by the Huskies 13:21 into the second period, the Bulldogs brushed off 12-5 shooting effort by the home team in the second stanza to outshoot SCSU 16-8 in the third period.  The game looked destined for extra time, however,  until McParland finally rewarded a first line that had been peppering the SCSU goal the entire period.  With just 14 seconds remaining in the skate, McParland used the crossbar to beat Huskey goaltender Kate Fitzgerald and seal the series sweep for the Bulldogs.  Sophomore forward Hannah Bramm had the second assist on McParland's game-winner, Bramm's fourth assist on the weekend.

Kayla Black had 25 saves for the Bulldogs, who outshot St. Cloud 32-26.  UMD was perfect on the penalty-kill on Saturday, killing off both infractions.

UMD, now 9-8-3 overall and 7-6-3 in Western Collegiate Hockey Association play, will be off from competition until Jan. 10, when the Bulldogs will host Minnesota State University at AMSOIL Arena in a two-game WCHA series.
