Box Score DULUTH, Minn. (csssaints.com) – The ninth-ranked St. Scholastica women's hockey team was unable to muster any offense as eighth-ranked University of Wisconsin-Superior had two early goals hold up in a 2-0 non-conference win Tuesday night at Mars Lakeview Arena.
The Jackets got their first goal only one minute and 44 seconds into the contest as Hailey Adair buried one from the left slot. The second UWS goal mirrored the first as Alison Shrift made it 2-0 Yellowjackets less than eight minutes into the contest.
The Saints controlled the puck for much of the second period, but were still out-shot by UWS 12-8 as the score remained 2-0. The Saints had a 30-second 5-on-3 in the period, but could not get a shot on net during that time frame.
CSS had another power-play opportunity in the third, but again was denied as the Yellowjackets remained unbeaten at Mars against the Saints with the 2-0 win.
Superior out-shot the Saints 28-16 for the game.
Sheridan Friesen (Winnipeg, Manitoba/Ontario Hockey Academy) picked up the loss for CSS.
Lindsey Hartfiel (Big Lake, Minn./Buffalo HS) stopped all 23 shots she faced in relief of Friesen. Shanley Peters had 16 saves in the shutout for the Jackets (12-2-4).
The Saints (9-3-2) will face another nationally-ranked team this weekend when they travel to take on sixth-ranked UW-River Falls for a two-game set. Friday's game is scheduled to begin at 2:05 p.m.
