WCHA play continues on Saturday afternoon for Minnesota and Minnesota State as the teams meet in Minneapolis.
On Saturday afternoon, No. 4 Minnesota and Minnesota State will meet for the second time in as many days as the teams play in a WCHA matchup at Mayo Clinic HSEC. The Mavericks bring a three game losing streak into Saturday’s matinee after dropping Friday night’s contest to the Golden Gophers 8-2. The team moves to 2-3-0 overall and 0-3-0 in conference play for a spot in last place in the standings. In last night’s game, Minnesota got on the board in the first minute of play with a goal from Natalie Mlynkova. From there, the Mavericks did their best, but could not hold off the offensive onslaught of the Minnesota offense. Another goal in the first period as well as three in the second and third periods was more than the team could fight back from. Taylor Otremba finally put the Mavericks on the board in the third period and Whitney Tuttle added another goal, but it was too little, too late and Minnesota State was forced to walk away empty-handed once again.
