ST. PAUL, Minn. (SabreAthletics.com) – It was an even and clean contest until the very end when Hamline's Corinne Henning broke the scoreless tie and netted the game-winner at the 3:18 mark in overtime to defeat the Marian University women's hockey team, 1-0, to claim a non-conference series sweep, today, Dec. 10.
