Mankato, Minn. --- Senior goaltender Brianna Quade made 33 saves, but Minnesota State women's hockey lost to No. 3 Minnesota Duluth 3-0 in a Western Collegiate Hockey Association game on Friday night at Verizon Wireless Center. 

Quade (2-8-2) made eight saves in each of the first two periods and 17 in the third period to keep the Mavericks (4-13-2, 2-12-1-0 WCHA) in the game with the Bulldogs (13-3-3, 10-3-2-1 WCHA), who outshot the Mavericks 36-14. 

However, The Bulldogs were able to get two shots past Quade in the second period and added an insurance goal in the third period, which was all of the offense they would need.
