Minnesota Women’s Basketball: Gophers Defeat Northwestern in OT 73-64

The Minnesota Golden Gophers women’s basketball team won their fourth consecutive Big Ten game on Sunday afternoon pulling away in overtime to get a 73-64 victory. However, the Gophers blew another double digit lead late in the game and needed some help to get the game to overtime. They came together in the OT period and got the job done—which is all that really counts. Minnesota now moves to 17-7 overall and 6-7 in the Big Ten on the year.

Minnesota got out to a fast start in the first quarter thanks to some great shooting by Destiny Pitts and Kenisha Bell.
