GOPHERS OVERCOME EARLY SETBACK, DOWN BEAVERS 9-1
Bemidji State scored the game's first goal but Minnesota responded with nine
of their own, routing the Beavers 9-1.
Kerri McEwen scored at nine minutes, 55 seconds of the opening period but
Nadine Muzerall, who collected three goals on the night, scored on the power
play at 14:22. Her second goal came with 1:58 left in the opening period and
Courtney Kennedy scored 40 seconds later.
Tracy Engstrom's short-handed goal was the only marker of the second period
before a five-goal third period, sparked by La Toya Clarke's hat trick, put
the game away.

Muzerall added an assist and tied a school record with 12 shots on goal.
