ST. PAUL, Minn. – First year Grace Lankas scored her first collegiate goal for the St. Olaf College women's hockey team in a 5-1 loss to Hamline University on Saturday afternoon at TRIA Rink.

With St. Olaf (7-14-0, 1-13-0 MIAC) trailing 3-0 early in the third, Lankas tallied her first-career goal off assists from classmate Iona Welsch and junior Annika Patterson to make it a two-goal game. Hamline (10-7-0, 9-3-0 MIAC), however, added two goals after Lankas' tally to complete the weekend sweep of the Oles.

After scoring twice for Hamline in a 4-0 win the night before, Sophie Rausch added two more goals to bring her season tally to a 15 this season to tie Brooke Power of Gustavus for the most goals in the MIAC this season. Nikki Olund, Molly Garin, and Cheyenne Abear also recorded goals for the Pipers.

Rausch set up Olund's opening goal inside the first four minute before Abear set up Garin on the power play midway through the period to give the hosts a 2-0 lead after one. After being outshot 14-5 in the opening period, St. Olaf held a 12-7 advantage in shots on goal in the second, but neither team was able to find a goal in the period.

Rausch tallied Hamline's second power-play goal of the game 71 seconds into the third period before Lankas got the Oles on the board 1:28 later. Abear collected her fourth point of the weekend with a goal at the 6:50 mark before Rausch completed a five-point weekend with an empty-net goal with 1:28 to go.

Senior Grace Boswell-Healey had 12 saves in the first and third periods to finish with 31 in the game, while Mckenna Hulslander had 12 in the middle period during a 24-save afternoon.

St. Olaf has two MIAC series remaining in the regular season and faces Saint Ben's on Friday, Feb. 11 at 7 p.m. in St. Cloud.
