With 15 total power plays, the #8 UMD women’s hockey game against #4 Minnesota got off to a slow start, but ultimately it was the Golden Gophers with a decisive 3-1 win on Saturday.

After a scoreless first period, the Gophers came out quickly and scored just a minute into the second period, followed up by a shorthanded goal just minutes later.

Gabby Krause scored her third goal of the year to cut the deficit down by one goal, but less than a minute later, the Gophers would strike yet again, ultimately being the final blow.

The Bulldogs will look to get back on track on Friday against Colgate at AMSOIL Arena.
