Last Time Out

The Bulldogs split their previous weekend schedule, falling 2-1 in a hard fought matchup against the St. Cloud State Huskies and securing their first win of 2024 over the University of Minnesota Crookston.

An early goal in the sixth minute from Gwendolyn Lilly allowed the Bulldogs to lead the Huskies for a majority of the first half. SCSU would go on to tie it up just before the halftime intermission and take over the lead early in the 63rd minute, holding off the Bulldogs throughout the remainder of the game.

UMD secured their first win of the season over the UMC Golden Eagles on Sunday after a Jessica Eischens rebound goal in the 20th minute. The Bulldogs held UMC to just 11 total shots and six shots on goal throughout the game for their first shutout and win of the year.
