Box Score Rachael Graves (Bemidji, MN/Bemidji) scored two power play goals to break a late tie and help Amy Statz (Wisconsin Rapids/Wisconsin Rapids Lincoln) equal the NCAA Division III women's hockey record for goaltender victories as UW-Stevens Point earned a 5-3 win over Finlandia on Saturday at Ice Hawks Arena.

Graves, a sophomore defenseman who entered the game with two career goals and one this season, scored with 10:24 left in the game and again with 4:47 remaining to snap a 3-3 tie and give the Pointers the victory.
