Dartmouth got offensive production from each of its top three lines. After grabbing a 1-0 lead on Carrie Sekela's power-play goal at one minutes, 20 seconds of the second period, the teams continued to battle evenly for the next 13 minutes.
Dartmouth took a 2-0 lead when Kristina Guarino banked a shot of the back of Minnesota goalie Erica Killewald's leg which opened the flood gates. The Big Green scored two more goals in the next four minutes and, a short-handed goal 1:19 into the third period, gave them a five-goal lead.
The Gophers got their only goal when Melissa Coulombe's shot from the left point hit traffic in front of the net and deflected into the net for her first career goal.
Killewald finished the game with 37 saves as Dartmouth held a 42-30 advantage in shot on goal, including a 15-4 margin during the first period. Amy Ferguson had 29 saves for Dartmouth.
