Gascon and the No. 5 Bulldogs Sweep Up No. 15 St. Thomas with 4-2 Win

The No. 5 University of Minnesota Duluth women's hockey team made its debut Saturday afternoon inside the Lee & Peggy Anderson Arena in St. Paul, Minn. with a 4-2 win over the No. 15 University of St. Thomas.

 

The win extends the Bulldogs current winning streak to four games – all Western Collegiate Hockey Association contests.

 

UMD doubled up on the Tommies midway the first period, and after three power plays over six minute span, Ida Karlsson finally helped the Bulldogs take advantage of the extra skater with a goal from the high slot for the 1-0 lead at 13:03. 

 

 

Just 32 seconds later, Grace Sadura's puck on to net ended up through the pads of Tommies goaltender Julia Minotti, and Sadura's second goal of the series bolstered UMD's lead to 2-0.

 

 

UST used its red-hot power play to cut its deficit in half at the 17:18 mark, but the Bulldogs were only halfway to their goal total after 20 minutes.

 

UMD opened the second period in scoring style, and 1:02 into the frame, rookie Rae Mayer extended her current scoring streak to five games by backing in to the Tommies defensive zone and splitting the defense with her backhand with a pass to freshman linemate Madi Burr. Burr did the rest, burying the first goal of her collegiate career, and just like that, the Bulldogs had regained their two goal lead.

 

 

That lead would hold until the opening minutes of third stanza, when again the Tommies struck on the power play on a goal from Ellah Hause 52 seconds into play. But despite outshooting UMD 12-6 in the final 20 minutes, UST couldn't solve UMD goaltender Eve Gascon at even strength. The Tommies made a final push with 2:40 left in the game with an empty net, but the Bulldogs dashed any chance of a UST comeback when Mary Kate O'Brien cleared the puck off the boards from above UMD's crease and banked it into the empty Tommies goal with two minutes left to seal the 4-2 win.

 

 

Gascon was again fantastic in net for the Bulldogs, posting 35 saves Saturday to pair with her 33 from Friday for a grand total of 68 in the series. UST heavily outshot the Bulldogs 37-26 in the game – a feat the Tommies pulled off both nights. UST also went 2-of-5 on its power play, while UMD went 1-of-5.

 

UMD (10-4-0, 6-4-0) will return to AMSOIL Arena next weekend to face No. 1 Ohio State University. Game times for the Friday-Saturday series are set for 6:02 p.m. Friday night and 3:02 p.m. Saturday.
