EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Talk about a severe case of déjà vu.
 
For the second time in as many days, the Saint Mary's University of Minnesota women's hockey team found itself heading to overtime, deadlocked with UW-Eau Claire 1-1.
 
Unfortunately, unlike Friday's 1-1 tie, the Blugolds found a way to net the overtime game-winner, as Danielle Lucker scored an unassisted power play goal 1:52 into the extra session to lift UW-Eau Claire to a 2-1 win over the Cardinals at Hobbes Ice Arena.
 
In eerily similar fashion to Friday's contest—in which the Blugolds scored the first goal midway through the third period, but only held the lead to 1:23—Saturday's game followed the same script.
 
Only in reverse.
 
This time around, it was the Cardinals who got on the board first, as Maddy Wallraff (Blaine, Minn.) scored her first collegiate goal, off an assist from Jamie Henderson (Madison, Wis.) to give Saint Mary's a 1-0 lead early in the second stanza.
 
A lead that was even shorter than Friday's, as UW-Eau Claire's Mariah Czech netted the equalizer just one minute after Wallraff's tally, to  knot the game at 1-1—and set up Lucker's overtime heroics.
 
Marah Shields (Milford, Mich.) finished with 31 saves in goal for the Cardinals, while Paige Turner stopped 22 of the 23 Saint Mary's shots she faced.
 
The Cardinals (4-5-3 overall) head to Lake Forest, Ill., next weekend for a pair of nonconference games against Lake Forest. Saint Mary's and the Foresters will play at 7 p.m. on Friday and 2 p.m. on Saturday at Alumni Memorial Rink.
