HOW IT HAPPENED
• Tied 1-1 halfway through the third period and on the power play, Hollywood Hermanson (SR, Dover, Minn./Dover-Eyota HS) slid a pass from left to right to Nikki Nightengale (SR, Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS), who quickly passed the puck back across to the left circle to Bridget Wagner (SR, Niles, Ill./Maine South HS), who hit a slap shot that deflected off a Saint Mary's defender and over the goalie's shoulder for her ninth goal of the season.
• The Auggies opened the scoring 5:58 into the game, as Nightengale scored her third goal of the season, blasting a one-timer off a feed from Katie Flynn (FY, Woodbury, Minn./East Ridge HS). Wagner received the second assist on the power-play goal.
