THOMAS SCORES TWICE TO LEAD GOPHERS PAST NIAGARA
Ambria Thomas scored a pair of goals, including a short-handed goal midway
through the third period, to lead second-ranked Minnesota to a 4-2 win over
Niagara.
The Purple Eagles led twice in the game. The first after Candice Celeen's
centering pass deflected off a Gopher skate and past goalie Erica Killewald
seven minutes, 13 seconds into the game.
Thomas evened the score with 1:35 left in the opening period but Niagara's
Valerie Hall scored on a backhander from the left circle just 49 seconds
into the second period, giving her team the lead once again.
Minnesota then scored three unanswered goals. Melissa Coulombe's power-play
goal, her third in four power-play marker in four games, tied the game at
13:09 of the period and La Toya Clarke banged home a rebound 3:18 into the
final period before Thomas' short-handed insurance goal.
Erica Killewald, who picked up an assist on Thomas' short-handed goal,
recorded 21 saves to earn the victory as Minnesota outshot its guests 30-23.
Tania Pinelli made 26 saves for Niagara.
