HOW IT HAPPENED

Claire Jenkins Coffman (SO, Mount Pleasant, Wis./The Prairie School) and Carleigh Drill (JR, Madison, Wis./Madison East HS) assisted on the goal.
• The Auggies made it a 2-0 game on a nifty cross-slot feed from Brooke Leone (SR, Rochester, Minn./Mayo HS) to Kennedy Stein (SO, Lake Forest, Minn./Lake Forest HS), following a steal by Katie Flynn (JR, Woodbury, Minn./East Ridge HS), at the 11:05 mark. Stein notched her seventh goal of the season.

• St. Olaf cut the lead to 3-2 with a pair of goals in a three-minute span midway through the second period, but Augsburg scored three goals in the third period to claim the convincing win. Lilia Scheid (SR, Stillwater, Minn./Middleton (Wis.) HS) gained a loose puck at the attacking blue line and sprinted in for an unassisted goal 5:42 into the period, and Jenna Gerold (JR, Farmington, Minn./Farmington HS) gained the puck in her own zone and went end-to-end for an unassisted goal at the 12:03 mark.
