Zumwinkle Garners WCHA Weekly Honors
10/29/2019 1:03:00 PM | Women's Hockey
After a four-goal weekend, Grace Zumwinkle is the WCHA Forward of the Week.
MINNEAPOLIS -- Junior forward Grace Zumwinkle has been selected as the WCHA Forward of the Week after her four-goal performance in Minnesota's series split on the road at No. 9 Ohio State last weekend.
Zumwinkle scored four of Minnesota's seven goals against the Buckeyes with a pair of two-goal games. She scored Minnesota's first goal, tying the game at 1-1, and third goal, a power-play tally to bring the Gophers within one at 3-2, in the Gophers' 4-3 loss in game one. In game two, Zumwinkle once again scored Minnesota's first goal, another game-tying goal to make it 1-1, and the eventual game-winner, which put the Gophers up 3-1 in the third period on the way to a 4-2 win.
The Excelsior, Minn., native led the WCHA with four goals, one power-play goal, one game-winning goal, and 18 shots on goal over the weekend. Her four goals and 18 shots on goal were tops in the nation as well. Zumwinkle's four-goal effort included her 50th career goal as a Gopher; she is closing in on 100 career points as she wrapped up the weekend with 95 career points on 51 goals and 44 assists. Her four-goal series tied her career best as well.
Zumwinkle and the Gophers return to action at Ridder Arena this weekend, hosting No. 1 Wisconsin at 2:07 p.m. CT Saturday and Sunday.
