Archived: Huskies sweep Brown
It was a very successful trip out east for the Saint Cloud State women’s hockey team as they increased their win streak to three by sweeping the Brown Bears in Providence, Rhode Island. Friday afternoon’s matchup saw a 5-4 Husky win in which Caitlin Hogan took no time in registering her 100th career point as she opened up the scoring with a power play goal just five minutes into the game. The senior from Oakdale is the 2nd player in SCSU women’s hockey history to reach the milestone; she trails only Roxy Stang on the career scoring chart. Hogan finished the game with a goal and two assists.
Saturday the Huskies completed the sweep of Brown with a 3-2 comeback victory. Senior captain Felicia Nelson netted the game winner for the Huskies; she also had the game winner in Friday’s game. Ashley Nixon was the goalie of record for SCSU, recording 25 of 27 saves in the win. The Huskies will take on Minnesota State-Mankato this weekend in a home and home series. Friday the teams are in Mankato and then Saturday they’ll resume the series at the National Hockey Center. Puck drop both nights is 7:07 p.m.
