MINNEAPOLIS (2/3/01) -- Tomery Stolz (Fr., St. Louis Park, Minn.) scored the game-winning goal on an empty-net shot with 19 seconds remaining in regulation Saturday, giving the University of St. Thomas a 2-1 win over host Augsburg College in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's hockey game at Augsburg Ice Arena.
Augsburg, facing virtual elimination from qualifying for the four-team MIAC postseason playoffs without a win over the Tommies, pulled goalie
Katie Fedoryk (Fr., Austin, Minn.) in the final minute of the third period, with the game tied at 1-1. Stolz scored the empty-net tally, on assists from Kara Trygestad (Fr., Minneapolis, Minn./Edison HS) and Erica Buck (Sr., Burnsville, Minn.).
Augsburg, the defending MIAC champions and defending Division III national runner-up, falls to 8-10-0 overall and 6-8-0 in the MIAC with the loss, and will be eliminated from contention for the conference playoffs with one win by both Gustavus Adolphus College and the College of St. Catherine in their remaining league games, based on conference playoff tiebreaker criteria. St. Thomas improves to 14-5-1 overall and 10-3-1 in the MIAC, sweeping the Auggies for the first time in its program's history.
Angie Rieger (Sr., Courtland, Minn./New Ulm Public HS) opened the scoring for the Auggies on an unassisted goal, her second of the weekend series, seven minutes into the game. The 1-0 Auggie lead stood until midway through the second period, when Lindsay Jacobs (Fr., Maple Grove, Minn.) scored a power-play goal on asssits from Jessica Christopherson (Fr., Coon Rapids, Minn.) and Trygestad.
Augsburg outshot St. Thomas by a 30-28 margin. Fedoryk made 26 saves in a losing effort, while Karissa Stapf (So., Burnsville, Minn.) made 29 saves to score the win for the Tommies.
