After a Tight Battle, Gophers Put Huskies Down

Related Topics: backdoor

It seemed the ice was especially slippery at Ridder Arena Saturday afternoon as Minnesota and St. Cloud started the game by repeatedly falling down all over the rink. The falls continued throughout the rest of the game, though later that seemed to be more due to other skaters’ assistance. The Huskies did a much better job getting the Gophers away from their goaltender, Janine Alder, first period and even pushed into Minnesota’s zone fairly regularly to attempt shots on Alex Gulstene. Minnesota’s shots came closer to scoring though, like when Alex Woken redirected Katie Robinson’s point shot and it went just wide of the goal.
