MINOT, ND – The Minot State women's hockey team will host Sault College for a two-game series at Maysa Arena on Friday and Saturday, with puck drop scheduled for 3:30 p.m. both days.

The Sault College Cougars, based in Ontario, enter the series with a 3-0 record after earning a victory over Michigan State and sweeping a two-game series against Lake Superior State. The Cougars will look to maintain their unbeaten start against the Beavers before traveling down east to face the University of Jamestown.

Minot State enters the weekend with a 2-0 record and looks to build on the strong start as the season gains momentum. Following a two-game exhibition series in Regina, Saskatchewan, the Beavers have continued to develop their chemistry and establish their identity with a well-rounded roster.

Through the first two regular-season games, Minot State has received contributions throughout their lineup. Five Beavers are tied with two points each, while four additional players have recorded one point.

Kinley Brassard and Jade Olszewski lead the Beavers in goals, with two apiece. Paige Crossley, Karlyn Gudz and Abby Tallman have each recorded two assists to help lead the offensive effort.

In goal, Minot High School alumna Jillian Ackerman has been impressive to start the season. The goaltender enters the weekend with a 1.00 goals-against average and a .949 save percentage, showing a strong presence between the pipes for the Beavers.

Minot State will look to extend its unbeaten start when the Beavers take on Sault College at 3:30 p.m. Friday at Maysa Arena. The two teams will meet again Saturday at 3:30 p.m. to close out the weekend series.
