  • Sophia Boman led the Gopher offense with two shots

Quotes
"Something we've been striving to do is finish games, even though we wanted to win I was proud of the defensive effort," said head coach Erin Chastain. "Plaschko was unbelievable today and hasn't been tested much yet this season, so it's fun to remember we have a really good goalkeeper behind our team. We had some moments where we were brave enough to keep it and do some nice things."
