Gopher Women Cracked Open Buckeyes

Friday night kicked off Gopher women’s hockey series at Ohio State. Like many Minnesota-OSU games, things got physical pretty quickly as Madison Field went for hooking Grace Zumwinkle at 2:47. On the power play Emily Brown’s shot bounced off goaltender Andrea Braendli and Emily Oden fed the puck to Zumwinkle for a rebound goal at 3:13. Seconds later Alex Woken earned an interference minor at 3:43 and while the Buckeyes tried to create some chances, the penalty harmlessly expired two minutes later. A Kelly Pannek shot hit Braendli’s glove and then Catie Skaja shot into her chest. A Minnesota shot from the blue line resulted in a scramble at OSU’s crease until Oden scored at 7:24.
