MINNEAPOLIS -- Jessica Larkin (SO, Lakeville, Minn./Lakeville South HS) scored a goal in the final minute for Augsburg College, but the Auggies dropped a 3-1 decision to St. Mary's University in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's hockey game on Saturday evening at Ed Saugestad Rink.

Nicole Olson (JR, New Brighton, Minn./Irondale HS) and Brooke Bartelt (FY, New Prague, Minn.) scored second-period goals for St. Mary's (10-6-3 overall, 7-2-3 MIAC), which outshot Augsburg (3-13-1 overall, 1-10-1 MIAC) by a 29-16 margin, including a 16-4 advantage in the second period.

In the closing minute, Augsburg's Larkin scored her second goal of the season, an extra-attacker goal from Jeanna Dudley (SO, Lindenhurst, Ill./Lakes Community HS). But 10 seconds after Dudley's goal, Haley Coolsaet (FY, Grosse Island, Mich.) clinched the win for the Cardinals with an unassisted goal.
