Minnesota State coach Jeff Vizenor didn’t have much to say after the Mavericks’ game on Saturday. Thanks to St. Cloud State’s 6-1 whitewashing, he didn’t have to.<\/p>\n

Coupled with Bemidji State’s win over Ohio State, Vizenor and the slumping Mavs (11-16-3, 8-14-2) fell into a tie for sixth place with the Beavers, while the Huskies (15-14-1, 12-11-1 WCHA) all but wrapped up home ice for the first round of the WCHA playoffs. <\/p>\n

“It’s extremely disappointing,” Vizenor said. “I think our players know what we have to do but we need to do it on a more consistent basis.”<\/p>\n

That consistency begins with the Mavericks scoring first, something they were unable to do on Friday. When their opponent scores first, the Mavericks are only 1-12-1 this season. And like Friday, the Huskies got on the board first. <\/p>\n

Megan McCarthy put SCSU up 1-0 14:34 into the first period on a rebound shot she slipped past MSU’s Brit Kehler. Kristy Oonincx and Ashley Stewart earned assists, the first of three for Oonincx on the afternoon.<\/p>\n

That score held until just past the midway point of the second, when SCSU pulled away for good. At 11:44, Stewart put the Huskies up 2-0, the first of a trio of St. Cloud goals in the period. Just under three minutes later, Denelle Maguet scored the Huskies third goal and just a minute after that, Marie-Michel Lemieux buried yet another. In just four minutes, the Huskies had essentially ended any hope of a Maverick comeback. <\/p>\n

“That was definitely a huge point in the game for us,” said SCSU coach Jason Lesteberg.<\/p>\n

The Huskies extended their lead to 5-0 just past the four minute mark of the final period on a tally by Hailey Clarkson, her third point of the day.<\/p>\n

“The power-play I think helped, but I think some of my assists were ghost assists, I don’t know how I got them,” Clarkson said. “We were just moving the puck around and it was going in the net for us.”<\/p>\n

The Mavericks finally beat Husky net minder Lauri St. Jacques 15:40 of the third on a goal by MSU’s leading scorer Maggie Fisher. The unassisted goal came just seconds after Fisher was robbed on a 2-on-1 break with teammate Felicia Nelson. It was the first goal given up by St. Jacques since the 4:33 mark of the second period in the St. Cloud game last Friday against Wisconsin, a time span of 211 minutes and seven seconds.<\/p>\n

“I’m in that zone,” said St. Jacques. “I’m just seeing the puck well, and the team is playing well in front of me.”<\/p>\n

Just ten seconds after the Maverick goal, the Huskies extended their lead to 6-1 on a breakaway goal by Brittni Kuyper, which came right off the face-off. The goal wrapped up the scoring for the teams.
\nThe win puts the Huskies up six points in the race for home-ice in the WCHA playoffs, with a home-and-home series against Minnesota next weekend. The Mavericks will travel to Wisconsin to take on the first-place Badgers.<\/p>\n

“Every game is a must-win for us,” said MSU forward Amanda Stohr. “It’s what happens when you put yourself in the position we are in now.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
