MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Junior Carolyn Carpenter tallied her first goal of the season for the St. Olaf College women's hockey team, but host Augsburg University completed a sweep of the Oles with a 5-1 win on Saturday at Ed Saugestad Rink.
 
Augsburg (5-3-0, 3-3-0 MIAC) scored all five of its goals over the first two periods, as Hollywood Hermanson recorded a goal in each of the periods. Carpenter struck on the power play in the final minute of the first period to bring St. Olaf (0-11-0, 0-6-0 MIAC) within a goal before the Auggies pulled away with a three-goal second period.
 
After the Auggies took a 2-0 lead on goals by Hermanson and McKenna Ellena, Carpenter registered her first goal of the season on the power play at 19:02 to halve St. Olaf's deficit. Classmates Emma Boyer and Mary Kate Eiden earned their first assists of the season on Carpenter's goal.
 
In the second, Payton and Hermanson scored 28 seconds apart at the 5:48 and 6:16 marks to quickly stretch Augsburg's lead to 4-1 before Emily Ach claimed the final goal of the game at 12:43.
 
Coming off a career-high 46 saves the night before, sophomore Grace Boswell-Healey made 31 saves over the final 33:44 after coming on in relief of first year Taylor Smith, who had 19 saves in the opening 26:16.
 
Abby Bollig made eight saves over the first two periods to earn the victory for Augsburg. Mara McClain stopped all seven shots she faced in the final 20 minutes for the hosts.
 
St. Olaf's next game does not come until the new year, when the Oles travel to Angola, Ind. for a series at Trine on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 3-4. The series opener will start at 4 p.m. EST.
