Gophers Earn Extra Point With Shootout Win Against Huskies
12/5/2023 9:29:00 PM | Women's Hockey
The University of Minnesota women's hockey team won in a shootout against eighth-ranked St. Cloud State on Tuesday at Herb Brooks National Hockey Center.
Regulation and five minutes of overtime proved not enough, as the Gophers and Huskies went to a shootout to decide Tuesday's game after scoring one goal each.
Sophomore Allie Franco converted on the game-deciding shootout attempt, sending the Gophers back to Minneapolis with an extra point in the standings.
Junior goaltender Skylar Vetter started in net for the Maroon and Gold, making 29 saves.
A closely-contested opening frame saw just one goal scored, as junior Peyton Hemp notched her seventh goal of the season off a feed from Madison Kaiser. Neither team capitalized on their powerplay opportunities, as six penalties were called in the first period but no powerplay goals scored.
The Huskies evened the score in the second period, as they found the back of the net just over five minutes into the frame. Both teams were again held scoreless on the powerplay, with another three penalties being called but no goals scored. Neither team was able to take control of the game in the final 20 minutes or overtime, and the Gophers were able to secure a shootout win.
Quotable
"Really hard-fought win here as it always is in St. Cloud," head coach Brad Frost said. "But we gutted it out. We're excited to get those two points on the road and head back home to face the Badgers."
Notable
- Gophers earn first shootout win since game against Wisconsin on Nov. 19, 2022
- Peyton Hemp scores her seventh goal of the season, now sits at 75 career points
- Minnesota moves to 106-4-3 against St. Cloud State
Up Next
The Gophers will host No. 3 Wisconsin for a must-see series on Dec. 8 and Dec. 9 at Ridder Arena. Puck drop is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. on Friday and 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, with both games being broadcast on B1G+.
