Gopher Women Blank Korean National Team
Sunday afternoon the Minnesota Gophers opened their season with an exhibition game against the Korean National Team. Korea hasn’t had the best run of luck on their Midwest tour, as they’ve lost to Shattuck-St. Mary (7-2 on September 13th), Wisconsin (8-0 on September 16th), Bemidji (5-0 on September 20th), and St. Cloud State (4-3 on September 22nd), but they were ready to play when the puck dropped. As for Minnesota, much of their previous offensive power has graduated or been pulled for national team commitments, however, that simply meant the rest of the skaters had a new opportunity to shine.
