1/20/2023 7:12:00 PM | Women's Hockey
Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle became the first two players in the country to score 20 goals this season.
BEMIDJI, Minn. – The No. 3/4 Golden Gopher women's hockey team won its ninth consecutive game with a 7-0 rout of Bemidji State on Friday afternoon at the Sanford Center.
Minnesota's (19-3-2) top-ranked offense set the tone early in game one with a pair of goals from Grace Zumwinkle and Taylor Heise to give the Maroon and Gold a 2-0 after the first. The Gophers tacked on four more goals in the second period from Peyton Hemp, Abbey Murphy, Heise and Zumwinkle to extend the lead. Abigail Boreen tallied her 11th goal in her last nine games late in the third period.
Sophomore goaltender Skylar Vetter stopped all 12 shots in two periods of work for her 16th win of the season. Senior goaltender Olivia King made four saves in the third period in her season debut. Bemidji State's (4-20-1) Hannah Hogenson made 45 saves in the defeat.
Quotable
"A fun game here tonight," said head coach Brad Frost. "Lots of penalties both ways, but our power play and penalty kill were both good. We had a couple timely goals in the first and were able to extend that lead. I'm really happy for Olivia King being able to get her first action of the year and combine with Skylar Vetter for the shutout."
Notable
• Taylor Heise and Grace Zumwinkle each scored a pair of goals to become the first two players in the nation with 20 goals this season.
• With one goal today, Grace Zumwinkle passes Natalie Darwitz for sole possession of fifth-place in program history in career goals (103).
• The Gophers have now scored at least one power play goal in 10-straight games. Minnesota's power play is 15/34 (.441) over that stretch.
• Taylor Heise's eighth-career shorthanded goal moves her into a tie with Ambria Thomas for fourth place in program history.
