Gopher Women's Hockey 2022-23 Season

Donate To GopherHole
Minnesota has several big games coming up. First is two games at Bemidji State ranked #31 in the USCHO ranking.

Then Minnesota plays two games at high ranked UMD.

Then Minnesota hosts two games against high ranked Ohio State.

Then Minnesota hosts two games against high ranked Wisconsin.


Minnesota Gophers are ranked #4 in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Women's College Hockey Poll. I should probably reference this poll one even though NCAA links to the other USCHO ranking.

Gophers earlier this season swept UMD, had a win and a tie against Ohio State, had a tie and a loss against Wisconsin, and swept Bemidji State

5-1-2.

The stakes are high at this time. A championship in reach
 


Gophers are routing Bemidji State 5-0 in the 2nd. Much better everything by the Gophers, particularly puck handling.

2 goals so far Zumwinkle plus an assist.

Now a Gopher Peyton Hemp was just sent to the penalty box for an elbow.

Gophers win 7-0.

Goaltender Skylar Vetter earns another shutout.

Grace Zumwinkle and Taylor Heise are first in the nation to score 20 goals this season. Both reached that mark after both scored 2 goals against Bemidji State.

And the Gophers swept Bemidji State who put up a valiant battle in today's 2nd game.



Bemidji State goaltender Hogenson faced 94 shots from the Gophers over the weekend. She saved 45 of them in Friday’s 7-0 loss, and another 38 on Saturday.​

#3/#4 Minnesota swept.

Unfortunately, #1/#1 Ohio State also swept.



And #2/#2 Yale won (1 game), sweeping both games against Quinnipiac this season.



BUT, #6/#3 Quinnipiac lost to Yale.


And #4/#5 Colgate split with Cornell.


So that's Ohio State, Yale, and Minnesota as the clear BIG THREE.


UMD is close behind. Wisconsin has stumbled the last month and next in line.



BIG SHOWDOWN against Ohio State in Minnesota February 3-4. BIG GAMES.

UMD is really good.

Great game today. Both teams played very well. Great passing and puck handling. The refs did a good job and let them play. Gophers pick up a big win over a tough team on the road. Let's do it again tomorrow. Go Gophers.
 


Gophers take the lead 4-2.

Now Vetter getting pelted with shots on the power play for UMD.

Gophers defense falters as UMD is allowed to hack, hack at the puck by the net until it goes in.

2 minutes to play, UMD down 1.
 

UMD at the end is swarming with an extra attacker, empty net.

Gophers win!

Followed by a scuffle!

Gophers swept and yet it was evenly matched.

Big sweep against UMD. Next weekend is huge. A home sweep against OSU would really put us in the driver's seat for a conference title, and even 4 or 5 out of 6 would have us sitting pretty.
