The Minnesota Gophers women’s Hockey team just could not put together their complete game and it cost them as Minnesota-Duluth upset the host Gophers 2-1 to end Minnesota’s season. Minnesota’s sloppiness got them in trouble at times this season, and it cost them a chance at another Frozen Four on Saturday. The Gophers finish 29-9-1 on the year. UMD advances to next weekend’s Frozen Four and will take on Northeastern in a semifinal.
The first period started with UMD having the better looks. They jumped out with tons of energy in contrast to last weekend when Minnesota made the Bulldogs look slow in their 5-1 win at the WCHA Final Faceoff.
