ST. JOSEPH, Minn. – After taking on the fourth-ranked team in the nation last weekend, the College of Saint Benedict hockey team looks to get back in the win column this weekend with a pair of games against St. Olaf. The two teams play at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Northfield, then again at 3 p.m. Saturday at the MAC in St. Cloud.
 
Thanksgiving is a week away yet, but Saturday's home game against St. Olaf marks the team's final home game in 2018. After hosting the Oles Saturday, CSB is at Saint Mary's Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, then is off until it heads to Wisconsin for a small tournament to start the new year. CSB looks to take advantage of home ice and pick up a win to wrap up its home portion of 2018.

ABOUT THE OLES
St. Olaf took on a pair of tough teams to start the season and is still looking for its first win of the year. The Oles did drop a one-goal game to No. 9 Gustavus on Nov. 9. Maddy Johnson leads the team with two goals, and four different players have an assist. Sam Klemann is third in the MIAC with 89 saves.

LAST MEETING
St. Olaf beat CSB by a single goal in the first game between the two teams last season, and they played to a 3-3 overtime tie in the second game. Jess Malloy scored for CSB in the first game and Julia Carle had 29 saves. Mariah Reed, Shelby Schneider and Maria Wallace all scored for CSB in the second game, and Carle had 39 saves.

THE STORYLINE
After a pair of tough games against Hamline last weekend, CSB looks to get back on track against St. Olaf. Both CSB and the Oles are looking to pick up their first conference wins of the season, and both look to gain some momentum as the season gets going.

WHO TO WATCH:
Courtney Conlin scored once in each of the team's games against the No. 4 Pipers last weekend. Maddie Dockry had an assist on her Friday goal, and her Saturday goal was unassisted. Julia Carle is eighth in the MIAC with 74 saves after added 39 to her total on Saturday. Kailee Medved has 59 saves to her name after just missing her career high with 44 on Friday against Hamline.
