11/3/19 Mary 0 – St. Cloud State 1

SCSU earned a massive 1-0 win over Mary Sunday afternoon behind Jenna Dominguez’s 4th goal of the season.

A back and forth first half saw no breakthrough for either side. Monica Majeski had the best chance of the half with a shot on goal that was saved. 6 other shots for SCSU in the first half did not prove to be enough as the match would go 0-0 into the halftime break.

Jenna Dominguez fired home the breakthrough in the 63rd minute of the 2nd half. Nicole Friis fed in a pass that Dominguez would fire home at a wide open net to give SCSU the massive go-ahead goal.

Mary would push for an equalizer late, but would be unable to find the winner as the game finished 1-0 with advantage to the Huskies.

SCSU finished the game out-shooting Mary 12-8 in was a strong defensive battle. Zoe Welsh earned her 6th shutout of the season in goal. Dominguez’s second half goal was her fourth goal of the season, while Nicole Friis earned her team leading fourth assist of the season.

The Huskies move to a record of 8-3-2 overall and 9-4-3 in conference play. Sitting with 26 points in conference play, SCSU claim sole place of 5th in the conference. The squad sit 5 points out of a home playoff game with upcoming games this week against MSU-Morhead and UMD.
