STEVENS POINT, Wis. – The UW-Stevens Point women's hockey team (7-7-0) earned a 5-0 shutout win over visiting Saint Mary's (6-5-0) on Sunday, the third-straight win on the weekend.

UWSP extended the lead to 2-0 on a Maike Zipp (Fond du Lac, Wis./Fond du Lac) power-play goal just 58 seconds into the second period.  Laina Berthiaume (South Haven, Minn./Hutchinson) picked up an assist on the play.
 
Courtney Leising (Maple Grove, Minn./Maple Grove) put the Pointers ahead 3-0 with an unassisted tally at the 2:03 mark of the third period.
 
Gina Magro (Tower Lakes, Ill./Barrington) fired a wrister past the SMU goaltender at 17:05 of the third to push the lead to 4-0.  Bella Moskonas (Greenfield, Wis./) had the helper on the goal.
 
Neuberger notched her second of the game at 18:32 to complete the scoring.  Leising grabbed her second point of the night with an assist on the play.
 
Olivia Schultz (Maplewood, Minn./Tartan) made 26 saves for the shutout win.  SMU netminder Jordan Keeley had 27 saves.
