BOXSCORE

MINNEAPOLIS -- Rachel Hennessy (FY, Williston, N.D.) scored her 20th goal of the season and added an assist for a two-point night, as her Augsburg College women's hockey team claimed a 2-2, overtime tie with visiting Concordia College-Moorhead in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest on Friday evening at Ed Saugestad Rink.

Goalie Brianna Schulz (FY, Prior Lake, Minn.) stopped 40 of the 42 shots she faced, as Concordia (13-4-5 overall, 9-3-5 MIAC) outshot Augsburg (6-10-8 overall, 3-10-4 MIAC) by a 42-23 margin. It marked the 13th in her 17 games this season that Schulz has recorded 30 or more saves, and the sixth time she has had 40-plus saves.
