MOORHEAD, MINN. – It's a big weekend for the St. Catherine University hockey team. After two weeks of nonconference play, the Wildcats open Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) play with a two game series against the Concordia College Cobbers Friday and Saturday in Moorhead, Minnesota.

St. Kate's will try to snap a two game losing skid in the series opener against Concordia Friday evening. Despite tough defensive play, the Wildcats were swept by UW-Superior last weekend, losing by scores of 5-2 and 2-1. St. Kate's will also look to open conference play with a MIAC sweep for the first time since the 2012-13 season.

Fans who can't make the trip to Moorhead can watch the Wildcats online via live stats and video. Score updates can also be found on St. Kate's official Twitter page (@stkateswildcats).
