ST. CLOUD, Minn. — For the second straight day, the St. Cloud State women's hockey team got strong goaltending.
JoJo Chobak, a junior from Chicago, made 20 saves to help lead the Huskies to a 4-0 win over St. Thomas and a WCHA series sweep on Saturday at the Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
It was the second shutout of the season for Chobak, a transfer from Minnesota Duluth. Chobak improved to 2-2 with a 2.34 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. Chobak's performance came a day after a 13-save performance by junior Sanni Ahola in a 4-1 win over the Tommies.
The goalies helped the Huskies (2-6-0 WCHA, 4-6-0 overall) to their first conference sweep under first-year head coach Brian Idalski.
Junior center Emma Gentry had her first two-goal game of the season, senior center Klára Hymlárová and fifth-year center Jenniina Nylund each added goals for the Huskies.
