MINNEAPOLIS – As Gopher Hockey prepares for a historic season in 2020-21, GopherSports.com takes one last look back at the 2019-20 campaign with our Top Moments of the Season. 

Sampo Ranta's sophomore season with Gopher Hockey saw the forward set a new career-high with 20 points while doubling his goal scoring total from six as a freshman to 12 as a sophomore. 

And one of this greatest tallies of the season came in the Border Battle as he dangled in the offensive zone and the slipped the puck between the legs of both Brannon McManus and Wisconsin goalie Daniel Lebedeff. 
 
Minnesota went on to win the game 4-1 on Nov. 22, 2019 at 3M Arena at Mariucci and proceeded to go 3-0-1 on the season against the Badgers including a sweep in Madison.
