Brandt and Boulier Come Up Big Against Buckeyes

This weekend the Minnesota Whitecaps flew out to play Ohio State in an exhibition series. Saturday saw Julie Friend in goal for the Whitecaps and Andrea Braendli between the pipes for Ohio State. The Buckeyes were first to get on the board, as Emma Maltais scored at 8:48 with assists from Tatum Skaggs and Jacyn Reeves. A little later Kendall Coyne Schofield took a holding penalty at 11:06, but Minnesota was able to kill the penalty. Eventually Hannah Brandt tied the game at 16:31 thanks to a little help from Amy Menke. Play remained tied 1-1, with shots 15 to 12 in Minnesota’s favor going into first intermission.
