Gophers Fall to Mavericks in Opening Game of WCHA Tournament
3/1/2024 8:56:00 PM | Women's Hockey
MINNEAPOLIS – The University of Minnesota women's hockey team dropped the first game of its weekend series with Minnesota State by a score of 5-4 on Friday night.
Junior Ella Huber recorded a hat trick, the first of her career, in Friday's loss. Freshman Lauren O'Hara scored the other Gopher goal.
Junior goaltender Skylar Vetter started in net for the Gophers, making 23 saves.
Just one goal was scored in the opening frame, as O'Hara scored her fourth of the season. Tightly contested and low scoring to start, the game quickly picked up in the second and third periods.
Huber netted her first of the day roughly halfway through the second period, but the Mavericks came back with two goals of their own to tie things up heading into the third.
Five goals were scored in the final frame, with three of them belonging to the Mavericks. A Minnesota State goal with just 1:38 remaining pushed the visitors to a win.
Quotable
"Not the result we wanted here tonight. We lacked some detail in our game and discipline in our structure," head coach Brad Frost said. "Unfortunately, when you give up five in a playoff game it's going to be hard to win. We have to have a short memory and get back after it tomorrow, as that's all we're guaranteed."
Notable
Ella Huber scores first hat trick of her college career
Friday marks the fifth time Minnesota has allowed five or more goals in a game this season
Huber records her 11th multi-point game of the season
Gophers fall to Mavericks for first time since Jan. 15, 2022
Up Next
The Gophers and Mavericks will meet tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. for the second game of their first-round series. The game will be broadcast on B1G+.
