Box Score On the last day of the 2015-16 women's hockey season, Hamline came up with a first. Jaime Hathaway (pictured) kicked out 36 shots as the Pipers earned their first ever point against Gustavus Adolphus with a season-ending 1-1 OT tie in St. Peter Saturday afternoon. 17 hours after losing 9-3 to the Gusties, the Pipers came out hard from the start and used some superb penalty killing efforts to gain the point. HU had lost all previous 32 meetings with the Gusties. 

HU killed off all player disadvantages and scored a PP marker of their own to finish the season with an overall mark of 9-13-3 under first year head coach Natalie Darwitz. Hamline's 6-10-2 MIAC mark landed them in seventh place -- two spots higher than predicted in the annual coaches' preseason poll. 

Unlike Friday, HU struck first. Jaci Reinke finished off a three-way play with Megan Lawry and Brede Postier for a power play marker 8:29 into the game. It was her team-leading seventh of the season. 

It looked like that might be all there would be for scoring but the Gusties, who needed a victory to make the MIAC playoffs, finally worked one by Hathaway late in the second period. 

After that, the Thiensville, Wis. sophomore shut the door the rest of the way in her first career start. She had seen her first action of the season just the night before when she worked the final 25:23 the night before, allowing the final two tallies.

HU was outshot in each of the three regulation time periods but turned on the juices in the overtime and fired the only two shots on goal. 

The Pipers graduate eight players -- Megan Gjere, Haleigh Bolton, Kendra Krause, Nina Chase, Jenny Magill, Chelsea Koehn, Megan Lawry and Mary Shefveland. They will leave knowing they were part of history.
