Gopher Women’s Hockey Sweeps Mankato

MANKATO, Minn. - The No. 1 Golden Gophers scored four goals in the last 6:02 of the second period to blow open a 1-0 game and roll to a 5-0 win and series sweep over Minnesota State at All Seasons Arena Sunday afternoon.

Senior Kelly Terry scored two goals, including the game-winner, and junior Rachel Ramsey had three assists as Minnesota improved to 22-1-1 on the season.

Goaltender Amanda Leveille is now riding 126:41 of shutout hockey, including 6:41 of the Gophers' 2-2 overtime tie with Ohio State last weekend, and back-to-back shutout victories over the Mavericks. Minnesota skated to a 4-0 win over Minnesota State in Friday's Hockey City Classic at TCF Bank Stadium.

The Gophers return to Ridder Arena to host St. Cloud State next weekend. Puck drop is set for 7:07 p.m. both Friday and Saturday nights. Minnesota swept the Huskies, 4-1 and 4-3, earlier this season in St. Cloud, Minn.
