DE PERE, Wis. (csssaints.com) - The St. Scholastica women's hockey team took on St. Norbert College (Wis.) on Friday night and settled for a 1-1 tie after the game saw a couple of early goals.

The Action
The Saints struck first in the first period on a power play. Brandi Malwitz (Thief River Falls, Minn./Lincoln HS) put the puck past the goalie unassisted on the play, just under four minutes shy of the first intermission. This was the only successful power play from either team during the game. The Saints had seven opportunities and the Green Knights (4-3-2, 4-1-2 NCHA) had three. 

The second and final goal of the game came from SNC's Lexi Pyykkonen who scored five minutes into the second period, unassisted, to tie up the game. In the third, each team got off six shots, followed by two shots from the Saints in overtime, but neither squad could add a tally to the board to take the win and the game ultimately ended in a 1-1 draw.

Goalkeeping
Lori Huseby (Babbitt, Minn./Northeast Range HS) was in goal for the Saints, making a total of 20 saves on 21 shots. For the Green Knights, Leigh Grall saved 27 of the 28 shots she faced.

Up Next
The Saints (5-1-2, 4-1-2 NCHA) are back in action on Saturday for the second game in the series against St. Norbert. Puck drop is set for 3 p.m.
