The Gopher Women’s Hockey team finished the Ohio State best of three game series in two games, winning 5-2 & 5-0, to advance to the WCHA conference tournament. Wisconsin, North Dakota, and Minnesota Duluth will join them.
Friday's game started fairly slowly. While both sides had some decent chances on goal, Minnesota more than Ohio State, neither team scored nor drew a penalty first period. However, that's not to suggest there shouldn't have been a few penalties called. The Buckeyes did their best tossing Gophers to the ground, or boarding them, tripping them, and just about anything else they could get away with throughout both games.
