Holiday Special: The Saint Benedict hockey team looks to grab its first win this Saturday (Nov. 30) and Sunday (Dec. 1), hitting the rink right after the Thanksgiving break. The Blazers will face off against Stevenson University at the MAC in St. Cloud at 4:45 p.m. on Saturday and 2 p.m. on Sunday. The Blazers remain winless after losing both of their games against Saint Mary's last weekend, dropping to 0-5 on the year.
 
About the Mustangs: With a record of 3-3-1, the Mustangs kicked off their season with two wins against Canton and went on to take a win, a tie and a loss against Sacred Heart before losing two games to Franklin Pierce. The Mustangs will be coming to St. Cloud looking to get out of their two game losing streak and to break their record over .500.
 
The Storyline: Can the Blazers take advantage of the Mustangs' long road trip and secure their first win of the season? Stevenson will be traveling 1,200 miles across time zones for the games, while the Blazers play their fifth and sixth home games of the year. The Mustangs have yet to win on the road this year and are riding a two-game losing streak.
 
Who to Watch: Stephanie Kirk (Minnetonka, Minn.) leads the team with four goals, which accounts for half of the team's total this season. Ally Nielsen (Alexandria, Minn.) also leads the team in shots with 15 with Kirk adding another 14. In goal Jenna Traut (St. Cloud, Minn.) currently leads the team in save percentage with a .892 average and has 33 saves on the season after playing in only one game so far.
