Saturday afternoon Minnesota finished their series against Mercyhurst at the Mercyhurst Ice Center in Erie, Pennsylvania. Mercyhurst kept Sarah McDonnell in goal, while Minnesota switched to Sidney Peters. The Lakers continued with the same steam they had yesterday, got a few shots on goal, and blocked all of Minnesota’s shots for the first nine minutes of the game. Unlike the day before, the referees let both teams play rough from the start, which included letting checks go uncalled. Jackie Pieper was the first Gopher to put a shot on goal, a rebound off a Tianna Gunderson attempt. After that Minnesota was finally able to start getting shots on goal with Kippin Keller making some great chances in the Mercyhurst crease.
