ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- Scoring three goals in a 3:38 span early in the third period, the Augsburg College women's hockey team scored a 3-3, overtime tie with the College of St. Benedict in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's hockey game on Saturday night at the Municipal Athletic Complex.

Trailing 2-0 entering the third period, Augsburg (0-6-2 overall, 0-2-2 MIAC) scored three goals in a 3:38 span -- an unassisted goal by Jenna Knudtson (JR, Austin, Minn.) at the 2:21 mark, a goal from Jess Olson (SR, Delano, Minn./Wayzata HS) and a goal from Whitney Restemayer (SR, Bemidji, Minn.) at the 5:59 mark to take the lead.

The teams claimed their second straight tie, after playing to a 2-2 draw on Friday night.
