Box Score Look who is suddenly one of the hottest women's hockey team in the MIAC. Hamline stretched its unbeaten string to four games and earned its first conference win in the process with a 2-0 win at Augsbvurg Friday night.
The Pipers are suddenly 4-7-3 overall and will go for the sweep when they host the Auggies in a rematch Saturday at Warner Coliseum at 2:00 p.m.
Goals by
Jess Hunt and
Chelsea Koehn 38 seconds apart early in the third period backed a 25-save shutout effort by goalie
Sarah Schnekloth.
The first two periods went back and forth with the Auggies holding a slight 19-17 edge in shots.
Hunt picked an opportune time for her first goal of the season 3:15 into the final frame. At 3:53, Koehn, the top first year scorer in the league, added her ninth and that was all Schneekloth needed for the shutout.
The Piper killed off a late penalty and skated away with the win. It was Schneekloth's second shutout of the season.
