The Minnesota Golden Gophers played a tight defensive game against Cornell in the NCAA Women’s Frozen Four Semifinal Friday afternoon and were rewarded with a 2-0 victory. Minnesota will now play Sunday afternoon for their 8th National Championship against their arch rival and #1 seed Wisconsin.
The Gophers and the Big Red played a tight first period. Minnesota came out with some jump and got a few nice looks in close to the Cornell net but Big Red goalie Marlene Boissonnault was up to the challenge and turned them all away.
