For the second game Mercyhurst stuck with Kennedy Blair between the pipes, but Minnesota switched things up and put in junior transfer Sydney Scobee, formerly of the University of Vermont. Today it was like two different teams took to the ice as the Gophers dived right in and never let up until the final buzzer, while the Lakers couldn’t even treed water to keep pace. Minnesota piled shots on, included two blasts in a row by Olivia Knowles into Blair’s central mass, and didn’t allow the Lakers an official shot until eleven minutes had passed. At one point Michele Robillard fell, slid until she crashed into Scobee and the net taking them both out, but if there was any Gopher involvement in her fall it wasn’t enough to warrant a penalty.
