The St. Lawrence University seniors Karell Emard and Lauren Brozowski each scored a goal, leading the women's hockey team to a 2-1 victory over Rensselaer in Troy, NY in Saturday's 2010-11 ECAC Hockey regular season finale.
The win is the third straight for the Scarlet and Brown, which heads into the ECAC Hockey postseason as the No. 7 seed with a 16-16-2 (11-11-0) record. St.
