The Beavers were on the hunt from the start badgering the Gophers in their own zone. When Abby Halluska received the puck between the circles she shot on goal, which goaltender Sidney Peters blocked, but then she fell and had to block another one before it was cleared. Shortly thereafter Emily Bergland was denied on her shot from the right side, but then Jacqueline Kaasa came in and knocked it in from close on the right side, scoring at 3:15. Bailey Wright had the second assist. A few Bemidji fans threw their bears on the ice, even though they were supposed to wait for the first Gopher goal—as it was the annual Gopher Teddy Bear Toss—but the rest of the fans didn’t have to wait for long as Alex Woken scored on Lauren Bench at 3:38 with an assist by Sophie Skarzynski.
