Gophers Tame Huskies in Series Opener
10/21/2022 6:27:00 PM | Women's Hockey
Four first-period goals propelled the Gophers to their fifth-straight win to open the season.
ST. CLOUD, Minn. – The No. 2 Gopher Women's hockey team continued its hot start to the season with a 4-2 win over St. Cloud State at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center on Friday afternoon.
Minnesota (5-0-0) started strong yet again with its third game scoring inside the opening two minutes. Abbey Murphy, Abigail Boreen, Grace Zumwinkle and Taylor Heise all lit the lamp in the first period to post the Maroon and Gold's highest-scoring opening period of the season. St. Cloud State (2-5-0) scored two goals late in the second period to make things interesting heading into the final frame. The Gophers shut down the Huskies in the third period, holding the home team to one shot through the first 18 minutes to secure the victory.
The reigning WCHA Goaltender of the Week, Skylar Vetter, stopped 20 shots for her third win of the season. Jojo Chobak started in goal for the Huskies, stopping 32 shots in her second defeat this season.
Quotable
"A good win on the road said head coach Brad Frost. "Obviously we got out to a great start with a 4-0 lead after the first period. To St. Cloud's credit they came back with two in the second and made it a game. I'm proud of our team for the way we continued to hold the lead. A couple of big penalty-kills at the end and Skylar Vetter playing really well in net came up with a big save towards the end."
Notable
• With her first period goal, Grace Zumwinkle moves into sole possession of eighth place in program history in career goals with 90.
• With zero goals in the second and third period, Minnesota has now failed to score in only three periods so far this season.
• With one assist today, Taylor Heise now has 99 in her career.
Up Next
The Gophers and Huskies wrap up this weekend's series tomorrow at 2:00 pm at Ridder Arena. Minnesota will honor the 2012 and 2013 National Championship teams during the intermissions.
