\nTop-ranked Minnesota got first-period goals from Hannah Brandt and Mira Jalosuo in a 2-0 win at Wisconsin on Friday. The shutout was Noora Räty’s 10th of the season, and it stretched the Gophers’ unbeaten string to 33 games, bettering the streak of 32 achieved twice by the Badgers. On Sunday, the spotlight was on the Finnish goaltender, as she earned the victory in Minnesota’s 5-1 triumph, the 100th win in her college career. That ties the NCAA mark established last year by Hillary Pattenden of Mercyhurst.<\/p>\n
\nThe No. 7 Golden Knights had seemed to be fighting the current in recent weeks, but they came through with two huge wins over the weekend to keep their ECAC title hopes healthy. Junior Carly Mercer netted a hat trick to supply the offense in a 3-1 win over first-place Harvard. Jamie Lee Rattray assisted on all three goals, two of which came on the power play. Clarkson followed up in strong fashion on Saturday with a 5-0 blanking of Dartmouth. Erica Howe earned her fourth shutout of the year along with her 19th win, and Shannon MacAulay scored twice.<\/p>\n
\nThe No. 2 Crimson entered the week with a perfect ECAC mark, but had to battle to avoid falling on consecutive days in their trip to upstate New York. Kayla Raniwsky staked St. Lawrence to a 2-1 lead at 8:48 of the third period, but Jillian Dempsey answered five minutes later. Kalley Armstrong delivered the game-winner on Harvard’s only shot of overtime. The Saints called timeout 10 seconds earlier; it’s safe to say that whatever strategy the coaches discussed unfolded better for the Crimson, leading to their bus ride home with a 3-2 victory.<\/p>\n
\nYale hasn’t had a lot to celebrate, but the Bulldogs earned their first sweep of a season series in two years by stopping Colgate, 2-0, on Saturday. Jaimie Leonoff now has matching 31-save shutouts over the Raiders. The win moves Yale into a tie with Colgate for the eighth and final ECAC playoff spot.<\/p>\n
\nOf late, Northeastern games look like basketball games where teams alternate baskets or go on runs. Sunday, it was the latter; the Huskies spotted Vermont the first three goals before wrapping up the scoring with six unanswered. Included in that burst was a pure hat trick for Kendall Coyne.<\/p>\n
\nNo. 6 Mercyhurst had some problems with a broken water main that forced its games versus Lindenwood to be relocated, but the Lakers had little trouble from the Lions in 10-0 and 5-1 wins. Jenna Dingeldein, Emily Janiga, and Christine Bestland all had six-point weekends, with Dingeldein setting the pace with four goals.<\/p>\n
