For the seventh time this season, the Minot State women’s hockey team neither won nor lost, skating to a 0-0 tie with Midland University on Friday, Jan. 30, at Maysa Arena. The seventh tie set a new ACHA record for the most in history.

It was the second time this season the Beavers have tied Midland. They also have a pair of ties against Adrian and one tie each against Niagara, Arizona State and McKendree.

The Beavers earned a point in the standings for Friday’s tie, and grabbed two more in a 2-1 victory over the second-ranked Warrior on Saturday, Jan. 31.

Cameron Schmidt scored both goals for the Beavers (13-6-7 overall, 9-6-3 WMCH) in the opening period. Schmidt netted her fourth of the season at 7:48 and her fifth with just 17 seconds left in the stanza while on the power play.

Midland (22-4-3) cut Minot State’s lead in half with a power-play goal by Taylor Bell with 7:07 left in the third period. The Beavers limited the Warriors to just two shots in the final frame to avoid another potential tie.
