About Minnesota Duluth
The Bulldogs were predicted to finish 11th in the NSIC. Bulldog senior goaltender Kaycee Chavez was listed as an NSIC Defensive Player to Watch, while junior attacker Jessica Eischens was named an NSIC Offensive Player to Watch.
Chavez, who transferred to the Bulldogs last season from Northern Idaho College, started 15 games for UMD and posted a .750 save percentage and 2.07 goals against average.

About St. Cloud State
The Huskies were tabbed to finish fourth in the NSIC according to the Coaches' Poll—their second-highest ranking since returning to the league in 2008. Senior forward Ellie Primerano and junior defender Ana Spaine were named preseason players to watch by the league.
A season ago, St. Cloud State earned its second-consecutive and second-ever NCAA Tournament berth after playing to an 11-4-5 record while going 8-1-5 in the NSIC. Six Huskies earned All-NSIC recognition, with Primerano and Spaine each being named to the first team. St. Cloud State set a program record with an 11-game unbeaten streak and advanced to the NSIC Tournament for the seventh time in the last nine seasons played.
Gretta MacDonald returns for her 12th season at the helm of the Huskies.
