Friday’s game was the first return of former Gopher Assistant Coach and current Ohio State Head Coach, Nadine Muzerall, to Ridder Arena. It was also Emma May’s first start between the pipes for Minnesota. At 2:35 Nicole Schammel was pinged for hooking Jincy Dunne. Minnesota kept the puck out of their zone for most of the penalty and it harmlessly expired two minutes later. When Sydney Baldwin lost the puck in OSU’s zone it quickly turned into a shot on May and it seemed like a lot of the shots Minnesota faced were from similar turnovers. Then a Gopher passed from the left corner to Sarah Potomak high in the slot for an excellent shot, which Buckeye goaltender Kassidy Sauve deflected it.
