Cardinals win in OT to close out season

MOORHEAD, Minn. — The Saint Mary's women's hockey team closed out their regular season on Saturday — and they did it with a win.

And while the game was very reflective of the teams' first matchup between SMU and Concordia on Friday — with game-tying goals coming in the last six seconds and an ensuing overtime — this time around, the Cardinals were not about to let it end in a tie.

Instead, SMU got a goal from Allie Urlaub (Burnsville, Minn.) just 1:02 into overtime to record a 4-3 victory over CC at the Moorhead Sports Center.

In Friday's matchup, it took the Cardinals until the final five seconds of the game to get on the board, as Kas Kingston (Black Diamond, Alberta) forced overtime with her team-leading seventh goal of the season in the teams' 1-1 tie.

They refused to wait that long in the rematch.

Katie Devine (Glencoe, Ill.) netted her third goal of the season at 13:59 in the first period — with help coming from Mikayla Vasilevich (Chicago, Ill.) and Kingston — to give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead..

The Cobbers wasted no time responding in the second period, scoring just 35 seconds in on a goal by Jerica Friese.

The 1-1 tie didn't last long, however, as Anne Carmean (Spring Lake Park, Minn.) netted a second goal for the Cardinals — the assist coming from Ellie Hegdahl (Brookings, S.D.) — with less than five minutes to go in the period, gaining a 2-1 lead to head into the final break.

The Cardinals extended their lead to 3-1 with an unassisted goal by Jordy Wyant (Winnipeg, Manitoba). The Cobbers, however, responded five minutes later to tighten the score to 3-2.

CC pulled goalie Kiana Flaig for the extra offensive attacker in the hopes of scoring — and their efforts were rewarded, with a goal coming with just six seconds remaining to send the teams into overtime — again.

Unlike Friday's outcome, this game wouldn't end in a tie — the victory was granted to the Cardinals, thanks to Urlaub's OT heroics.

The Cardinals closed out their season going 5-11-2 in the MIAC and 8-15-2 overall.
