The Minnesota Gophers women’s hockey team thought they might have a tougher task on their hands in the second weekend of their season. On tap was a home and home series against Minnesota State, who while they sat at 4-0 had dropped a pair of games #1 Ohio State by just one goal each, and took #45 UMD to overtime and lost 2-0 in the other game. The Gophers decided to not even give a chance to the Mavericks to get that momentum and stick around as Minnesota would win in Mankato Friday afternoon by a score of 11-0, and then return to Minneapolis and pick up a 9-4 win at Ridder Arena on Saturday.
