MANKATO, Minn.. --- Minnesota State (12-22-0, 6-21-0 WCHA) fell to the University of St. Thomas (9-24-1, 3-23-1 WCHA) by a final of 3-2 Friday afternoon at the Mayo Clinic HSEC.

The Mavericks owned the Tommies' in the shot department through 60 minutes 33-18, however UST took advantage of its opportunities netting goals in each period.

Following the Tommies' empty-net tally in the final minute of regulation, senior Kennedy Bobyck refused to finish her final game at the Mayo Clinic HSEC scoreless taking the opening face-off in UST's offensive zone setting up sophomore Alexis Paddington for her second tally of the season.

The Mavericks continued to fight scoring just 12 seconds later seeing senior Jamie Nelson rocket a shot over the shoulder of UST's Calla Frank putting the pressure on the Tommies' late.

UST would survive the next 23 seconds registering their ninth victory of the season.

"We came out with a ton of energy and jumped on them but unfortunately got two pipes failing to score on important opportunities," stated head coach John Harrington. "the final score doesn't indicate the way the game was going, and we look to bring the same energy tomorrow in St. Thomas."

The Mavericks are back in action tomorrow at 2 p.m. to rematch the Tommies' from the St. Thomas Ice Arena.
