The Beavers score twice in 31 seconds to take a 2-1 lead in the 3rd period in St. Cloud.
It's the Huskies' turn to score twice in the same minute and SCSU is back up on BSU 3-2.
That ended up being the final. Jessica Havel had a 21-save shutout.From live stats...looks as though the Beavers are up 2-0 after two in St. Cloud. The EE fan club should be happy...the Allie Deullman fan club as well.
Beavers and Huskies in a WCHA series in St. Cloud this weekend.
Beavers and Huskies could both use 6 points. I'll go with 3 apiece.
That's the call I'm making for the Gophers 2nd half launch... I do anticipate a much tougher series than the first go 'round in Grand Forks.Nice call, brooky! Now please tell me the Gophers will pick up right where they left off, and SWEEP the Whioux at home!
On the record, I hope I'm wrong as well. I'd like to see a duplication of 2/18/12...at the very least!For three of the league's teams - Minnesota, Ohio State and UMD - this weekend's games will be their first in over a month. Trying to predict how much rust they'll each have makes it even more guessing game than usual! But just for fun I'll go with:
Ohio State @ Wisconsin OSU will also be trying to shake off some rust, but they'll be facing what appears to be a resurgent Badgers squad, which at least had an exhibition warm-up against an admittedly depleted Whitecaps roster. I'd probably guess differently if OSU was hosting this series, but away from home I believe they will return home after Saturday's game with no points on the weekend. I hope I'm wrong, but I'll say BUCKY SWEEPS.

Minnesota State @ Bemidji State MSU is coming off a nice tune up and pair of one-sided wins against an overmatched Lindenwood, plus they will have had a full 10 days to rest. Meanwhile Bemidji has to be feeling good about rebounding in their last game, at home, against St. Cloud. I'll say this one ends in a SPLIT.
St. Cloud State @ Minnesota-Duluth Very difficult to say if the long layoff might be a hindrance or might actually benefit UMD, but I think they will use this series at home to start to turn things around in the second half. I'm going with a BULLDOG SWEEP in this one.
North Dakota @ Minnesota Couldn't agree more with brooky that this series will prove to be a real battle. Like MSU the Wioux got a nice tune up against Lindenwood to start the 2nd half. But until the Gophers actually lose a game - despite the looooooong layoff, who in their right mind would bet against them? it will be difficult, but the GOPHERS SWEEP.
Ohio State @ Wisconsin OSU will also be trying to shake off some rust, but they'll be facing what appears to be a resurgent Badgers squad, which at least had an exhibition warm-up against an admittedly depleted Whitecaps roster.

I hope I'm wrong, but I'll say BUCKY SWEEPS.
Huskies play the true spoiler role? Well...maybe not. I'll concede your perfect weekend. Gee...hope I didn't just jinx you there friend!Still one game to go, but so far so good!
Minnesota @ Minnesota State: Mavs typically tough for Minnesota...but Gophers manage a sweep
St. Cloud State @ Ohio State: Buckeyes bounce back with two wins at home
Bemidji State @ Minnesota-Duluth: Angry Beavers occupy AMSOIL winning both...grabbing 6 desperately needed pts.
Wisconsin @ North Dakota: Moderately bold, entirely serious prediction, a Whioux sweep
