Friday night North Dakota was physical right out the gate, fore-checking, intercepting passes, and generally exhibiting the physicality their program is known to possess. This set Minnesota back a little, as they were expecting something a little more passive, but driving the puck deep into the visitor’s zone and putting it on the net seemed to be the best solution. One such example was when Kate Schipper put the puck on goal from the left side, Lexie Shaw blocked the shot, but another Gopher caught the rebound and battled her at the crease. The play went under review, but was determined to be no goal.
