MINOT, N.D. – After playing to a fourth tie in their last five contests on Saturday, the 7^th-ranked Minot State women's hockey team left little doubt Sunday in a shutout win over visiting Arizona State.

The Beavers wasted no time in period No. 2 pushing the margin to 2-0 as Paige Kozak scored off an Olivia Opheim assist 57 seconds into the session.

In control, Minot State iced the win with a pair of late goals in the third period as Journey Miller scored off a Maddie Beek assist with 2:28 left, then 36 seconds later Abby Tallman added a power-play goal off assists from Abby Pineau and Kozak for the final 4-0 margin.
