The Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team revenge tour keeps rolling on. The Gophers used stellar defensive and goaltending play from sophomore netminder Skyler Vetter and a trio of goals from Madeline Wethington, Abbey Murphy and Catie Skaja to earn the Gophers first trip back to the Frozen Four since 2019. The Gophers will see a very familar foe in their Frozen Four semifinal—the Wisconsin Badgers who upset #3 seed Colgate 4-2 to advance to Duluth next weekend.
The first period was a fairly conservative period with both teams not wanting to give the other a huge advantage early in the game.
