Weekend Preview:

vs. Concordia-St. Paul: UMD holds a solid lead against the Golden Bears all-time, with the series favoring the Bulldogs 17-6-3. However, things haven't been on the up lately for UMD, having lost their last four matches against Concordia-St. Paul.

In their last match, UMD lost a close match against the Golden Bears, 1-0, with a goal by Clare Snapko in the 26th minute being the decider in the defensive contest.

The Golden Bears are 5-3-5 entering the weekend, and 4-3-3 in the NSIC. Their matches last week saw them drop two games against Minnesota State and St. Cloud, where they were unable to find the back of the net.

Sophia Haase will be a player to watch for Concordia-St. Paul, having scored 10 goals on the season, as well as Lexi Pettit, who has three goals and five assists. The Golden Bears have outscored their opponents 18-10.

vs. Winona State: The Warriors have the historic edge on the Bulldogs, with UMD being 12-21-5 all-time against Winona State. The Bulldogs have had their fair share of struggles lately, and will be looking to break an eight-match winless streak against Winona State.

In their last match, UMD and Winona State played to a 1-1 draw in Duluth. Sarah Stratling got an early goal for Winona in the 9th minute, but Nora Helvig found the back of the net for UMD in the 61st to get the leveling goal.

Winona State enters the weekend at 1-10-1 overall and 1-8-1 in the NSIC. Last weekend, they were bested by St. Cloud and Minnesota State, scoring just one goal on the weekend.

Madison Barnick and McKayla Paukner lead Winona State with two goals each. The Warriors have scored eight goals and have conceded 27 on the season.

Bulldogs Look for Strong Weekend After Back-to-Back Splits: The Bulldogs currently in fourth place in the NSIC, having a 6-3-1 conference record and 7-4-2 overall record. Should they hold on to that place, it will be UMD's best season in the NSIC since 2013.
