WINONA, Minn. -— Last Friday night, they were unruly guests.

And on Sunday, the Gustavus women's hockey team was anything but a gracious host.

The Gusties, who left the SMU Ice Arena Friday with a 4-0 win — outshooting Saint Mary's University 59-8 — managed just 51 shots on goal in Sunday's Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference rematch. But GAC made better use of their offensive output, scoring once in the first period, three times in the second and twice in the third en route to a 6-0 win and a sweep of the Cardinals.

"(Gustavus is) a very, very good team," said SMU coach Duncan Ryhorchuk, whose team had its two-game winning streak snapped in Friday's loss. "They pretty much dominated the play, but to be honest, I thought our performance (Friday) was one of the better efforts we've had all year."

In fact, had the Cardinals gotten a break or two Friday night — despite the 59-8 Gustie advantage in shots on goal — the score could have very easily been 4-4.

Really.

"When you look at the scoresheet, it looks pretty bad, but when you look at the chances we had, we could have very easily picked up three or four goals," said Ryhorchuk, whose team missed three breakaways, and Melissa Mondo (Vadnais Heights, Minn.) was stymied on the doorstep early in the second period. "This was a game that could have been 4-4, or it could have been 8-0."

GAC jumped out to a 2-0 first-period lead on goals by Ingrid Neve and Molly Doyle. Neve would add her second of the game and team-leading 12th of the season early in the second period, and Doyle would close out the scoring with her second of the game at the 6:31 mark of the third period.

"You hate to keep sounding like a broken record, but we've got to start taking advantage of the scoring chances we get," said Ryhorchuk. "Three breakaways and we didn't score on any of them. With (goalie) Nikki (Jung) playing as well as she did, it's unfortunate that we weren't able to give her any offensive support.

"We had a chance to steal (a win), but we couldn't get the job done."

And Sunday's rematch wasn't any better.

Laura Stypulkowski gave Gustavus all the offense it would need with her goal midway through the first period. Margaret Dorer, Abby Randall and Andrea Peterson all netted second-period goals in a two-minute span — Randall's and Peterson's coming 21 seconds apart — to give the Gusties a commanding 4-0 advantage head into the final 20 minutes.

Neve — who scored twice in the Gusties' 4-0 win on Friday — and Kelly Crandall completed the rout with third-period goals.

Jung stopped 45 of the 51 shots she faced Sunday, giving her 100 saves in the two-game series, while the Cardinals managed just seven shots on the GAC net — including just one in the second period, when SMU was outshot 19-1.
