ST. PAUL, MINN. – After five months, the St. Catherine University hockey season is coming to a close. The Wildcats will face Saint Mary's University this upcoming in the final Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (MIAC) series of the season.

Friday's series opener will be St. Kate's final regular season home game of the 2016-17 season. Live stats will be available Friday evening, while both live stats and video will be available when the Wildcats take on the Cardinals in Winona on Saturday. As always, score updates will be posted on St. Kate's Athletics official Twitter page (@stkateswildcats).

St. Kate's will also honor its four graduating seniors in Friday's series opener. Over the last four seasons,  Jordan Solheim (Thief River Falls, Minn. / Thief River Falls), Abbi White (Wyoming, Minn. / Forest Lake), Cassie Thomas (Northfield, Minn. / Northfield), and Alex Pederson (Park Rapids, Minn. / Park Rapids) have compiled a 34-52-13 record and made one trip to the MIAC postseason tournament in 2013-14.

Here is a special senior edition of the five facts to know before Friday evening's 7 p.m. puck drop:

.934 – White will close her career as one of the most successful goalies in St. Kate's history. Her .934 career save percentage is second all-time, while her 2.24 goals against average (GAA) is No. 3 in program history. White is also tied for fourth in career shutouts (3) and is second in single season save percentage (.948, 2014-15).

15 – Thanks to a fantastic senior season, Solheim also cemented her place in Wildcat hockey history. Solheim is tied for 10^th all-time in career assists (27) and No. 9 all-time in single season assists (15). This season, Solheim leads St. Kate's in points (21) and leads both the team and the conference in assists (15).

4 – Thomas may go down as one of the most clutch players to play at St. Kate's. Although the senior only scored four goals in her four-year career, three of those five were game-winning goals. Thomas' first collegiate goal was the game-winner over St. Olaf her sophomore season, but the biggest goals of her career were still to come. Thomas hit the game winner in a 3-2 upset of No. 7 Lake Forest earlier this season, then helped the Wildcats beat St. Thomas for the first time in over five season with her second game-winning goal of the season.

8 – Pederson has also had quite the career with St. Kate's. As a first year, she ranked No. 8 among all first years in the MIAC in scoring with 11 points and was fourth on the team in the same category. Pederson has ranked in the top-10 in scoring in her three years with the program and has tallied four goals and six assists in her final season with the Wildcats.

22.4 – St. Kate's power play has been one of the best in the MIAC this season. The Wildcats have converted on 22.4% of their power play opportunities this season, which ranks second in the conference. That number is just as good against MIAC opponents, as St. Kate's has converted on 22.2% of those opportunities as well.
