STEVENS POINT, Wis. – Senior defender Ellie Punnett (Hailey, ID/Athol Murray College of Notre Dame) tallied a power play goal with 1:08 remaining in regulation to give the UW-Stevens Point women's hockey team (2-4-1, 1-1-0) a 2-1 win over visiting UW-Superior (4-3-0, 1-1-0) on Saturday afternoon.
 
The teams skated to a scoreless first period with each squad registering five shots on goal.
