MANKATO — No. 13 Minnesota State women’s skated to a 0–0 tie with No. 9 Minnesota Duluth Friday before falling in a shootout.
The Mavericks move to 11-12-2 overall and 5-12-2 in WCHA play.
Goaltender Hailey Hansen recorded her fifth shutout of the season, stopping 28 shots as MSU held the Bulldogs scoreless through regulation and overtime. MSU controlled much of the third period, firing 21 shots, but could not break through.
The game remained scoreless through overtime, and the Bulldogs earned the extra point in the shootout. The list time Minnesota State was involved in a scoreless tie was Feb. 4, 2003, also against Minnesota Duluth.
The Mavericks and Bulldogs collide in their regular season finale at 2 p.m. Saturday at Mayo Clinic Health System Event Center.
