Nadine Muzerall scored just 1:05 into the opening period but saw that lead evaporate early in the second period as Lill Raynard collected her 13th of the season.

Minnesota then took the lead for good when Laura Slominski poked home a rebound at 14:39 of the second period on the power play.

Over the final two periods, the Gophers outshot their hosts 32-9 but couldn't break the game open. Shannon Kennedy was credited with her fourth goal of the season when her centering pass was tipped by a Bemidji State player and past Beaver goalie Bre Dedrickson.

Lisa Peters got Bemidji State back to within a goal when she picked the upper right corner through traffic off a faceoff but Tracy Engstrom's goal just 16 seconds later, with 2:26 to play, sealed the home team's fate.

Dedrickson finished the game with 34 saves while Crystal Nicholas had nine for Minnesota.

The two teams conclude their two-game series Tuesday when they meet at 7:05 p.m. at the John Glas Fieldhouse.
