Minnesota State-Mankato and the St. Cloud State Huskies took six rounds to settle a thrilling game on Hockey Day Minnesota 2017. Lauren Hespenheide would get the ‘W’ for the home Huskies after coughing up a 3-0 lead.
Alyssa Erickson broke through Brianna Quade in the first period for the Huskies to make it a 1-0 score. She was able to roof the puck over Quade’s glove. But as the Mavericks tried to lick their wounds from the first goal against, freshman forward Janna Haeg scored just 35 seconds later. It was 2-0 just like that. The story from Friday night’s game was freshman goalie, Janine Alder, and she held strong, for the most part to keep the Mavericks scoreless.
