Message: [QUOTE="huskymedic, post: 5341927, member: 549"] [MEDIA=twitter]1972647827512709623[/MEDIA] -> [B](13) St. Cloud State at (12) Connecticut[/B] This battle of Huskies showed exactly why the teams are so closely ranked as they split a pair of 2-1 games this weekend. UConn scored first on Megan Woodworth’s breakaway, ending SCSU’s season-opening 130-minute shutout streak. St. Cloud responded a few minutes later when Raili Mustonen was alone in front of the net to tap in Avery Farrell’s pass from behind the net and make it a 1-1 game. Julianne Labbé scored in the opening minutes of the 3rd on a two-on-one breakway with Payton Holloway. The St. Cloud defense closed up, allowing just six shots from UConn in the final frame and Emilia Kyrkkö made 35 total saves to lead SCSU to the 2-1 win. On Saturday, Tia Chan made 36 saves and Connecticut took advantage of special teams opportunities, scoring twice on the power play to take a 2-1 win and earn a split. Brooke Campbell scored midway through the first to make it 1-0 UConn. Sydney Bryant scored her first career goal on a penalty shot in the second awarded when a Connecticut player covered the puck in the crease. But Lily Dewar added her own power play goal and that proved enough to give UConn the win. Connecticut also made 27 blocks in the game. <- [/QUOTE]
