Rylee Bartz scored with just 55 seconds remaining in regulation as the St. Thomas women’s hockey team defeated Bemidji State 2-1 at the Lee & Penny Anderson Arena in St. Paul on Friday evening.
Nora Sauer had given the Tommies a quick 1-0 lead on a goal just 34 seconds into the game. However, the Beavers’ Shelby Sandberg knotted the score at 1-1 at 3:29 of the middle frame and that’s how the count remained until Bartz’s late heroics.
Ellah Hause and Cara Sajevic recorded assists on Sauer’s opening tally, while Maddie Brown snagged an assist on Bartz’s finisher.
St. Thomas improved to 9-12 with the win, while Bemidji State fell to 5-13-3 in defeat. The two teams face one another again Saturday in a 2 p.m. puck drop at Anderson Arena.
