DULUTH, Minn. -- The UND women's team didn't generate much offense during the weekend.
But one late burst Sunday afternoon allowed the Sioux to salvage one point out of the weekend with a 2-2 tie against Minnesota-Duluth in AmsOil Arena. The Bulldogs earned an extra point by winning the shootout 1-0.
Down two goals with time running out, the Sioux found the back of the net twice in the final 4 minutes, 48 seconds to even it up.
Freshman Josefine Jakobsen batted in a rebound of a Jocelyne Lamoureux shot at 15:12 of the third to cut the Bulldog lead to 2-1. Then, with goalie Stephanie Ney pulled for an extra attacker, rookie Michelle Karvinen re-directed a Lamoureux point shot with 17 seconds left.
Sioux junior Monique Lamoureux-Kolls, who assisted on both goals, nearly won it in overtime, blowing by a Bulldog defender on a rush and getting two attempts from down low. Bulldog goaltender Jennifer Harss stood her ground, though.
