Killewald, who entered the weekend with a national-best 1.18 goals against average, and Brewer, second in GAA and the nation's leader with 11 shutouts, combined to stop 57 of 59, keeping the game scoreless through the first two periods.
The Gophers broke the ice early in the third period while on the power play. Nadine Muzerall picked up a rebound and lifted the puck over a pile of bodies in front of the net for her 24th goal of the season at 6:54.
The pace of the game picked up after that and Brown eventually got the equalizer while Jill Graat fired home a rebound through traffic with 5:41 to play in regulation.
Minnesota finishes the regular season at 25-3-3 while the Bears head into the final weekend of Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference play at 18-4-4.
