Minnesota Sweeps Bemidji State for 10th Straight Win
1/21/2023 5:29:00 PM | Women's Hockey
The Gophers have won their last 18 contests against the Beavers.
BEMIDJI, Minn. – The No. 3/4 Golden Gopher women's hockey team battled to 4-1 win over Bemidji State on Saturday afternoon at the Sanford Center.
Minnesota (20-3-2) found the back of the net first for the 10th-straight game after Josefin Bouveng's unassisted first-period goal. Abbey Murphy added to the lead late in the second period with a rising backhander for her 16th goal of the season. Bemidji State (4-21-1) answered shortly after on a power play for their first and only goal of the series. The Gophers' top line added some much-needed insurance after Taylor Heise assisted on Abigail Boreen's goal 23 seconds into the third period. Grace Zumwinkle tallied her NCAA-leading 21st goal of the season late in the third to secure the victory.
Sophomore goaltender Skylar Vetter made 18 saves for her 17th win of the season. Bemidji State's Hannah Hogenson made 38 saves in the defeat.
Quotable
"A really hard-fought game here today," said head coach Brad Frost. "Credit Bemidji State for playing very, very well and hard. I'm really proud of our team for fighting through some adversity with a one-goal lead heading into the third. Skylar Vetter was really good in net and kept it a one-goal game for as long as she did. A great six points on the weekend on the road in a tough place to play."
Notable
• The Gophers have won their last 18 contests against the Beavers.
• Minnesota held Bemidji State to one shot in the third period.
• Minnesota's 10-game power-play scoring streak ends after going 0/3 with the extra skater today.
• Taylor Heise recorded her 120th career assist on Abigail Boreen's goal to extend her point streak to 10 games.
