UMD Routes SCSU Women's Hockey, Earns Sweep
12/05/2011 - 10:15 AM
A trip north to Duluth was none to kind for the St. Cloud State Women’s Hockey team this past weekend. The UMD Bulldogs swept the Huskies back to St. Cloud, beating SCSU 5-1 Friday, and 10-2 Saturday from Amsoil Arena.
Despite outplaying the Bulldogs early in the Friday’s game, SCSU trailed 1-0 in the second period when Wayne State transfer Cari Coen scored her first goal as a Husky to tie the game. She was assisted by Abby Ness and Molli Mott on the third goal of her career. That would be the only goal SCSU would score as the Bulldogs notched the next four goals en route to the 5-1 win.
Saturday’s game saw Duluth totally dominate St. Cloud State. Before the Huskies got a Julia Gilbert goal in the second, they already trailed by six goals. After two periods of play, UMD lead 10-1, and the Bulldog’s Haley Irwin had seven points. St. Cloud got the final goal on a tip off a Brittany Toor deflection, but the Bulldog’s easily took care of the Huskies and earned the sweep.
St. Cloud is now 1-15-2 on the season and still winless in the WCHA. They will have a chance to change that this weekend when they return home in conference play against Minnesota State-Mankato. MSU was the only team SCSU beat last season. Friday’s game is slated for 7:07 and Saturday’s for 2:07.
KVSC will broadcast both games right here on 88.1 FM with Zack Fisch and Dave Overlund making the call. Pre-game coverage will start 20 minutes prior to the game each day.

12/05/2011 - 10:00 AM
Bemidji State rolled into the National Hockey Center this past weekend and handed the St. Cloud State Men’s Hockey team its first home loss and took three points from the Huskies in a WCHA series. The two teams skated to a 6-6 tie Friday night, and BSU got the victory Saturday by a score of 3-1.
Friday saw SCSU lose two goal leads twice in the game. The Huskies lead 3-1 at one point in the first period, and chased starting goaltender Dan Bakala from the game. However, the Beavers roared back and took a 4-3 lead in the second period. Ben Hanowski tied the game with his second goal of the night towards the end of the second period to tie the game. St. Cloud came out firing in the third period and got goals from Travis Novak and Jordy Christian to take another two goal lead at 6-4. However BSU again scratched and clawed their way back to tie the game at six. Novak and Andrew Prochno had three points for SCSU in the tie. Ryan Faragher allowed six goals on 25 shots.
Saturday saw the Huskies strike first only 3:25 into the first frame. After notching his first NCAA goal the night before, Nick Oliver scored for SCSU to give the Huskies an early lead. However, that was the only goal SCSU would get in the game. The Beavers would score the next three, and despite being outshot by SCSU by a total of 34-14, BSU won the game 3-1.
With the loss SCSU falls to 6-8-4 on the season and 4-5-3 in the WCHA. The Huskies are off this weekend, but will return to action at home in two weeks for a series against Denver. For updates on the Men’s Hockey team, remember to check us out on Twitter.

The St. Cloud State Men’s Hockey team played well on the road in Omaha against the #19 UNO Mavericks this weekend, but came home with only one point, after falling 4-3 on Saturday and skating to a 2-2 tie on Sunday.
Saturday’s game saw Cory Thorson get the Huskies on the board with a first period goal, but the Mavericks rattled off two straight goals to take the lead. Junior captain Ben Hanowski responded for SCSU with one of the most impressive goals of the season and notched his ninth tally of the year after a series of dekes and dangles to tie the game 2-2. After an Alex Hudson tally late in period two, Cam Reid evened the score in the third period. However, it was the Mavericks who tallied last as Terry Broadhurst scored with under three minutes to play to give UNO a 4-3 win.
After a quick turnaround, the Huskies were back on the ice Sunday afternoon and in front of a small crowd got goals from Brooks Bertsch and Hanowski in a 2-2 tie. Ryan Faragher made 24 saves in the draw.

Women's Hockey Swept by #1 Wisconsin on Thanksgiving Weekend
11/28/2011 - 6:00 AM
Thanksgiving Weekend was no time to relax for the St. Cloud State Women’s Hockey team who were given the tough task of traveling to Madison to take on the #1 Wisconsin Badgers. Looking for their first WCHA win, the Huskies fell short and were swept by Wisconsin, losing 5-0 Friday, and 6-1 Sunday from the Kohl Center.
Friday saw SCSU give up two goals in the first period but play the Badgers tough in the second frame. Heading into the third period, the score read 2-0 in favor of the Badgers. However, Wisconsin captain Hillary Knight took the game over and scored twice in the third period en route to the 5-0 win. Knight had 15 shots for the Badgers in the win, while as a team, St. Cloud registered only 19 shots on goal. SCSU senior goaltender Tayler VanDennaker made 36 saves in the loss.
After having Saturday off, the Huskies returned to the ice Sunday looking for the upset win, but a three goal first period for Wisconsin quickly put SCSU behind. St Cloud got on the board in period two when junior Alex Nelson blasted a slapshot past Alex Rigsby to cut the Badger lead to 3-1. Nelson’s goal was her second of the season and was assisted by Julia Gilbert and Kylie Lane. However Wisconsin added three more goals to secure the sweep.
The Huskies are now 1-13-2 on the season and 0-10-0 in the WCHA. St. Cloud travels to Duluth this weekend to take on the UMD Bulldogs. Puck drop is slated for 7:07 on Friday and Saturday. We'll have updates on our Twitter page.
Huskies Upset By Wayne State
11/21/2011 - 11:38 AM
The only thing as persistent as the snow falling Saturday afternoon at Husky Stadium was Wayne State running back Toney Davis, who rushed for a school-record 326 yards and five touchdowns in leading the Warriors to a 48-38 upset over the Huskies in round one of the NCAA playoffs.
The Huskies scored first after SCSU blocked a Stefan Terleckyj punt and recovered the ball on WSU’s three-yard-line. Dante Steward scored on the ensuing drive’s first play to give the Huskies a 7-0 lead halfway through the first quarter.
After a Warrior touchdown and missed extra point cut the Huskies lead to one, SCSU wide receiver Renard Robinson caught a thirty-yard, fourth-down TD pass to increase the Huskies lead to 14-6.
St. Cloud State took a 21-6 lead early in the second quarter on a Michael Walker TD scamper from two-yards-out but from that point on, it was all Warriors. Over the next 6:30, Wayne State scored 21 unanswered points to take a 27-21 lead. A Tyler Aldridge field goal for SCSU just before half cut the WSU lead to three points, but that was as close as the Huskies would get.
With the snow falling steadily beginning at about 10 AM, officials decided to take an extended halftime break to clear the snow that ultimately lasted fifty minutes.
On the Huskies second offensive possession of the second half, Aldridge had a 38-yard field-goal-attempt blocked and that seemingly seized all of the momentum the Warriors would need to seal the upset.
On SCSU’s next possession Wayne State’s Raliegh Ross took a Phil Klaphake pass sixty-eight-yards the other way for a pick-six that more or less sealed the Wayne State victory.
The Huskies finish the season with a 9-3 record.
