Gophers Earn Split with Buckeyes
10/26/2019 4:30:00 PM | Women's Hockey
Minnesota picked up a 4-2 win in game two to earn a series split on the road in Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Grace Zumwinkle, Amy Potomak, and Taylor Heise scored goals to lead the Maroon & Gold as the No. 2 University of Minnesota women's hockey team earned a series split with a 4-2 win over No. 9 Ohio State on the road at OSU Ice Rink on Saturday afternoon.
Minnesota (9-1-0, 5-1-0-0 WCHA) trailed after one period but scored four-straight goals on the way to the 4-2 win. The Gophers took their first lead of the series with a pair of second-period goals from Zumwinkle and Potomak before Zumwinkle and Heise found the back of the net in the third period to extend the Gophers' lead and seal the victory. Sydney Scobee finished with 25 saves in the win.
Ohio State (5-3-2, 3-3-2-0 WCHA) received 33 saves from goaltender Andrea Braendli along with a first-period goal from Jenn Gardiner and a late tally from Liz Schepers in the series split.
Quotable
"Good effort from our team tonight, it was a great response after yesterday's game," head coach Brad Frost said. "I'm really happy for them and the way they competed and battled here today. That's what we need every time, and they did that tonight."
Notable
Zumwinkle scored her 50th and 51st career goals as a Gopher in Saturday's win. She is now five points shy of 100 career points at 95 points (51g-44a). Zumwinkle led the Gophers with four points on the weekend after scoring two goals in each game.
Up Next
The Gophers return home to host the Border Battle when Wisconsin visits Ridder Arena on Saturday, Nov. 2 and Sunday, Nov. 3. Puck drop is set for 2:07 p.m. CT both games.
