Courtney Kennedy scored with 5:30 to play in the period and Muzerall's second of the game at 15:13 made the score 6-0.
Muzerall completed her hat trick at the 9:03 mark of the second period. Laura Slominski, Tracy Engstrom and Shannon Kennedy scored the remainder of the Gophers' goals.
Minneosta had a 34-10 advantage in shots on goal, holding the Mavericks without a shot during the third period. Erica Killewald had 10 saves for her third shutout of the season.
