Minnesota Wins 4-1 Over Huskies
1/10/2020 8:03:00 PM | Women's Hockey
Eleven different players recorded at least one point as the Gophers won game one of this weekend's series.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. -- The No. 2 Golden Gopher women's hockey team opened this weekend's series with a 4-1 win over St. Cloud State as Minnesota resumed WCHA action on the road at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center on Friday night.
Minnesota (18-1-3, 10-1-2-1 WCHA) received goals from Taylor Heise, Madeline Wethington, Catie Skaja, and Katie Robinson along with an 20-save effort from Sydney Scobee. Skaja led all players with two points on a goal and an assist.
St. Cloud State (4-15-3, 0-13-0 WCHA) got on the board first with a power-play goal by Hallie Theodosopoulos at the 3:27 mark of the second period after the teams played a scoreless opening frame. However, the Gophers responded with four unanswered goals on the way to the 4-1 win. Heise tied the game before Wethington gave Minnesota the lead with 2:30 remaining in the second period, and Skaja and Robinson added third-period tallies to seal the win.
Quotable
"A solid win on the road here tonight, I'm proud of our team," head coach Brad Frost said. "We got down a goal there but fought back to get two more in the second period and then extended the lead and put the game away late. I'm really happy about it, getting three big points on the road. We're looking forward to tomorrow."
Notable
Minnesota improved to 90-3-3 all-time against St. Cloud State with Friday's win. The Gophers have won 11-straight games over the Huskies and are unbeaten in the last 49 meetings between the two teams, going 48-0-1 since a 6-3 loss in St. Cloud, Minn., on Feb. 13, 2010.
Up Next
The Gophers and Huskies wrap up this weekend's series at 3:07 p.m. CT Saturday afternoon.
