NORTHFIELD, Minn. - Saint Mary's University scored the game's last three goals in a 3-1 MIAC women's hockey win over St. Olaf on Saturday night at Northfield Ice Arena.

Kelly Biddle scored the St. Olaf goal, on a pass from Tessa Christensen, at 9:14 of the first period.

The Oles carried the 1-0 advantage late into the second period before SMU's Cassie Stoner tied the game at the 15:00 mark.

Stevie Fiek and Dana Krueser -- at 3:29 and 11:15 -- then added goals in the final period to give the visiting Cardinals the 3-1 win and three of four points in the MIAC series. The teams tied 3-3 in Winona on Friday.

St. Olaf plays three non-league games in Connecticut next week before returning for an MIAC series on Feb. 6-7 with Bethel University.
