Muzerall scored her lone goal of the night on the power play, just 1:45 into the opening period, to kick off the Gophers' scoring spree, the fourth consecutive game in which they've scored 10 goals against the Huskies.
Laura Slominski, who set up Muzerall and Kris Scholz for the game's first two goals, scored at 11:48 of the opening period when she stole the puck along the left wing boards in the St. Cloud State zone, skated behind the net and poked home her own rebound on a wrap-around.
The Gophers scored five times in the second period, including a pair of Tracy Engstrom goals, but the Huskies got their first goal in four games versus Minnesota when Rebecca Olson scored on the power play at 15:30.
The Gophers outshot their guests 44-10 with Erica Killewald stopping nine shots while St. Cloud's Laura Gieselman made 34 saves.
The two teams meet again Saturday at the National Hockey Center in St. Cloud, Minn., which will be the first meeting of the two teams on the Huskies' home ice.
