As we enter the final week of the 2022 Winter Olympics lets take a look at how the Minnesota Gophers athletes are fairing in Beijing. Spoiler—-pretty, pretty good.
Women’s Hockey:
Eight current and former members of the Gopher women’s hockey team are on the US Olympic team. The US is doing what they need to do, all be it in a less impressive fashion than the Canadian squad, but the inevitable USA/Canada gold medal game matchup is a go.
The US went 3-1 in pool play winning 5-2 over Finland, 8-0 over Switzerland, 5-0 over Russia and then dropping their game against Canada 4-2.
