Gopher Women’s Hockey Routs Bulldogs, en Route to Frozen Four

Saturday the Gophers headed up to Duluth and the AMSOIL Arena to play the Bulldogs in the NCAA quarterfinals. Kelly Pannek got a chance right away, but her shot didn’t actually reach goaltender Maddie Rooney. For the first half of the period shots reached either goaltender—Minnesota had managed three and Duluth only one—as the teams traveled back and forth across the ice. Then Sidney Peters had to make a great leg swipe save to keep the game scoreless and the Gophers started boxing Duluth into their zone.

During one of these intervals Ashleigh Brykaliuk tripped a Gopher and took a penalty at 16:45.
