STEVENS POINT, Wis. – Sophomore goaltender Marit Larson (Oakdale, MN/North St. Paul) stopped all 23 shots as the UW-Stevens Point women's hockey team (11-6-2) picked up its fifth shutout in the last seven games with a 1-0 victory over St. Catherine University (4-12-1) at Ice Hawks Arena on Tuesday.
 
The shutout was the second of the season for Larson and her 23 saves were a season high for the netminder from Oakdale, Minn.
