Freshman Jimmy Snuggerud did everything right last weekend against Lindenwood in the season opening series even though he didn’t get on the scoresheet like his linemate Logan Cooley did who scored four points.
On Friday night, Snuggerud didn’t just score his first collegiate goal, he completed the hat trick in the Minnesota Gopher hockey team’s 4-1 win against in-state rival Minnesota State Mankato.
While there wasn’t much at stake, it has to feel good for the Gophers — who improved to 3-0 on the season — to beat Mankato after being eliminated by them two years in a row, even though a lot of those players have moved on since.
