Last Action: The Saints were blanked by fourth-ranked University of Wisconsin-River Falls 6-0 on Saturday … In fact, both CSS and UWS were victims to the Falcons in their last contests as the Yellowjackets fell 9-0 on Friday night in River Falls … The Saints went 0-for-6 on the power-play against the Falcons, managing just one shot on goal on the power-play and allowing a short-handed goal … It was the first time this season they failed to convert on the power-play.
Hartfiel Approaching 2,000: Senior goaltender
Lindsey Hartfiel (Big Lake, Minn./Buffalo HS) enters the weekend 38 saves shy of the 2,000 mark for her career … Hartfiel already is the winningest goaltender in program history (27) and has the most saves (1962) and shutouts (6) in the program's seven-year history.
Leaders: Senior forward

Emily Stegora (Red Wing, Minn./Red Wing HS (Minnesota State-Mankato)) has team-best seven goals and is second on the squad with 10 points …
Abby Sawyer (Owatonna, Minn./Owatonna HS) has four goals and four assists, including a team-high two game-winning goals.
Third Period Shots: When looking at shots on goal combined between the first and second periods, the Saints are only minus-5 … However, that margin widens in the third period as St. Scholastica has been out-shot 93-62 thus far.

Record: 4-6-0, 1-2 WIAC
